Just a random query.... Having now got a subset of BSC implemented, using a couple of toy test programs, and the BSC mapper, and none of the wildcard code...
It's not something I've thought about - can you give a possible example scenario? _____ From: David Buckley [mailto:db@...] Sent: 06 January 2005 12:00...
Hi David, Using an ID=* line in a BSC cmd is a very easy (aka lazy) way of controlling devices as you then dont have to know the UID in advance .... this is...
The main use I make of wild cards is to give some location/device independence in my setup. Eg, recently I moved my X10 connector to a new server. So its...
... It comes from this. My xAP BSC reception implementation - so far - doesnt do wildcards, it just has hooks and gaps where wildcard recognition code will go....
... This addresses an issue I have been having with the xAP architecture. It might be that I juts don't understand the model well enough, but I tend to end up...
... Absolutely. xAP is a really poor fit for X10, as you end up speaking in X10 terms and housecodes and stuff. No-one has a device called an H4 - the device...
... Yes - really the idea of a schema is to represent a function eg 'lighting' and there would be a lighting schema that worked transparently with X10 or C-Bus...
... Yes, it is ubiquitous, and has to be supported. But perhaps by hiding most of the ugliness in the gateway. ... All this can (albeit awkwardly) be handled...
The latest release (v2.5) of my X10 controller, which is BSC v1.3 capable, does this kind of mapping. It holds an address map table, local to the connector,...
The GUI and command line versions are now available, but no documentation yet, at www.erspearson.com. I hope to do a release note to xAP_Automation tomorrow. ...
I wasn't going to make the source code generally available - mainly because it's not very pretty right now and the addition of config/groups/scenes will change...
I'm now looking at the next stage of xAP implementation in TelCanto. I need to generate some notifications when the play status changes, which will include the...
Guys, As you may have noticed, I've hardly posted recently. Time pressures from all kinds of directions have meant that we've not had any time to work on the...
Hi Malcolm , I tried to clarify this too (transport events) but didnt get too far... Edward posted a response on the 17th Dec which is quite useful, although...
Comments inline... ... Yes, maybe it does seem to far more logically sit there than where I had them. Or perhaps the context of the information is all relative...
Just as an aside one of the objectives of the xap-audio schema must be that within an application , in this example TelCanto, you should be able to just define...
Been away a day - so will think overnight and have a look over the UPnP stuff too -- anyone else got some input on this please ??- Edward perhaps ??/ Kevin...
... the Homeseer home automation app. TIA......JG Joe et al. I believe that I've now sent ZIPs of the applications to everyone who asked. If you believe that...
... Hi Joe, I'm just checking that you know there is a complete xAP plugin available for HomeSeer from www.mi4.biz ? I think you probably know this and are...
