Here's something for the curious. I've been asked a few times recently how to go about creating a xFx-based xAPplication, e.g. one that sits in a GUI like the...
I was asked if this was the default way to develop new xFx-based xAPplications. Well, I think that there is a bit of a balance required, depending on the...
All, what examples of X10 schema are there in circulation? The only one I'm aware of is Patrick's (http://patrick.lidstone.net/ha/xAP/Schema/X-10) which, in...

I'm back and gave it a try. I tried the xAPListeningIP first and then added the xAPBroadcastIP on the second attempt. I placed them in the viewer.exe.config...
Revise that last response. That is the error message when an invalid form IP address is given. On W2K with only the viewer running on that PC then the...
Yes 12-Dec is the one that I used for development purposes. Kevin is the only one who received the output of this effort and I do not run a real Slim device so...
... Hmm... Looking at the proposals it seems the schemas assume the X10 devices are able to report their status, and of course most devices aren't able to do...
Julf, you are so, so right about the fact that there shouldn't be an X10 schema in the world; there should be a set of lighting schema that a xAP<->X10 adaptor...
Stuart, many thanks for posting this example; tutorial stuff like this makes it so much easier for people (like me) to climb up that first, very slippery, part...

Sorry this is not within the message context below but it looked lost.... I had some similar decisions with my C-Bus lighting connector - should I expose it as...

I previously explored policies for system level operation of a XAP environment and did not come up with much of anything that had already been adopted. The...
Forgot about your question here, Kevin, sorry! On Mon, 23 Feb 2004 04:18:40 -0000, "Kevin Hawkins" ... That doesn't make any sense really does it. Shall we...

I'm not understanding the context of the logfile in the proposed schema. Is the purpose to notifiy other XAP app's that a log file exists and it can be...
Hi Michael, ... The issue I see here is that you don't want each application doing it's own thing, to such an extent that the central monitoring program needs...

Obviously the schema architecture can exist anywhere on the continuum of free-form to rigid. It is just a matter of design preference. I agree with John in...
