I have a CM11a that appears to be flakey...it will transmit x10 commands passed
to it via Heyu, but uploaded timers do not appear to run. I've tried timers
uploaded from heyu as well as active home with the same result. This is the
third time a CM11a has died. I would like to, in essense, replicate the timer
execution within Heyu, and send the outputs to either the CM11a or the
firecracker module. There seems to be enough 'pieces' of things in Heyu to do
this but I am not sure how to put it together, so here are some questions:

The thing that seems to be missing is a time sequencer - for every min tick,
check a list of time events and if the time matches, execute the associated
action. Is there any piece in Heyu that does this? If not, any suggestions on
how to implement this? I considered developing a crontab but running something
with a granularity of one min might chew up a lot of cpu cycles. If someone has
done this or knows of an example, could you show it to me?

I realize the possibility of a power fail effictively killing the CPU, but I can
make sure that does not happen, and be sure that it is more reliable than the
CM11a.

Also, I am looking for an example on how to send an email message as an action
to an event happening. I am using the Courier MTA as my mail server.
Thanks
