RE: Re: xPL Front End

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve - this sounds like it would be exactly what a lot of people are
looking
for.

There are two key elements to a front end (imo) - there's talking to the
rest
of the xpl network (an ocx exists which should work in delphi encapsulating
the required behaviour) and talking to an xplhal server (using the XHCP
interface)

I don't know that I can be much help in development, but I'll certainly
help
you test things!

Ian.

Hi all,

Im new to xPL and automated control in general but I come from a windows
development background and i've recently bought a new house which i've
totally rewired with x10 throughout.

I was in the process of building a skinnable interface application that
talked to a cm12 and a w800 directly through the com port (specifically for
use on a 7" touchscreen and an airpanel) when i discovered xPL by
accident. I
havent started testing yet but if i understand xPL's features/capabilities
correctly it looks like ill be starting again using xPL to handle all the
low
level comms stuff so i can concentrate on the flashy interface side of it.

My existing interface work has been done completely bespoke using delphi
and
an excellent image handling library (g32) but i am currently considering
using a flash based interface with a sort of external middle ware library
to
handle the xPL communication.

If anyone has any tips specifically on communicating with xPL i'de be glad
to
recieve them.

Thanks

Steve Noyce
