I picked up a usb to 4 serial port adapter for $40 on ebay :) (and the single port ones are even cheaper) ... The one thing about APs is that you can have Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:58:51 GMT Daniel Born http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39604 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39604 ... Thanks, I will then stick with the serial version. I'll just have to move the UPS on apcupsd from serial to USB to free up my only serial port... not a big Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:11:57 GMT George Farris http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39603 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39603 ... FIXED! I did some debugging last night and found that the MH code was missing the proper devcat for the KeypadLinc. So in Insteon_Devices, line 313 you Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:40:04 GMT Marc MERLIN http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39602 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39602 ... The current mh code is only for the Serial PLM. Since the 2412U is a PLM and not a PLC which is quite a different beast, it may not be that hard to make it Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:17:04 GMT Daniel Born http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39601 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39601 Hi all, I used to be very active with home automation (active member of comp.home.automation newsgroup, had a house full of x10 modules controlled by a CP290 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:45:40 GMT Marc MERLIN http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39600 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39600 ... I have it all logged in /var/log/powermeter and query it with a script. On top of having it graphed with cacti, it's indeed easy to compute a kwh diff Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:35:09 GMT Brad Yarotsky http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39599 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39599 I was thinking that I could setup notifications so for example if the security alarm is on and there is a high usage of power, maybe the oven was left on. Also Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:30:31 GMT George Farris http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39598 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39598 ... Okay well lets do it then. Couple of questions: 1) Can you send me a copy of the new code base? 2) Is there a simple way to put the PLM into monitor mode Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:29:25 GMT Gary Sanders http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39597 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39597 This is quite a coincidence, because I sat down this morning to send an inquiry to the group about the TED also! I have a birthday coming up, and the TED 5000 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:08:31 GMT Marc MERLIN http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39596 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39596 ... What are you trying to achieve? I have a powermeter equivalent device and just haven't felt the need to integrate with mh, although I could easily since I Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:50:58 GMT Brad Yarotsky http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39595 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39595 I know some work was done a year or so ago on the Energy Detective. There appears to be a new model out and I was wondering anyone has coded it into MH.

That's considerably newer than mine; and, is possibly (probably?) i2. ... It's probably more accurate to say that mh doesn't like your keypadlincs as it Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:36:45 GMT Marc MERLIN http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39593 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39593 ... I think this may just not work with the PLM: gargamel:/var/local/src/misterhouse# mh/bin/mhsend -run 'compcloset on' Sending 13 bytes of data to localhost Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:54:29 GMT Clarence Brown http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39592 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39592 Just to recap, I've got an Insteon PLM, 2 LampLincs, 2 Access Points, and a RemoteLinc. They are connected and working manually ... ie, I can control the Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:40:40 GMT George Farris http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39591 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/message/39591 ... Interesting, using a SwitchLinc, this works: Format = A INSTEON_PLM, plm IPLD, 12.03.BB, some_lamp, All_Lights|Inside, plm # SwitchLinc IPLL,
