Re: CM15A Firmware versions

["AZ Woody" <Reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may be talking about the "quick hack" I posted.    It's only the very
basic part of what I've got (and haven't even updated that in some time -
including the docs).  The app was originally written (by me) for Dallas
1-wire, and X10 was added.  It's got full scripting, and built in web
access/control.

I might release it one day to others, but my main goal was a custom app for
my specific environment.

I'm debating adding another x10 controller other than the cm15a.  The way it
was originally written, 1-Wire is the primary interface.  BTW, the 1-Wire
stuff also works (same source) on Windows too...  Been debating making the
X10 work there too, but then again, I don't really trust windows enough for
it to be "driving" my home automation!
