Hi Shoop_NL

nice to see you are still working on this add-on, I am just trying out XBMC Frodo and hope your plugin will work in that, been using it for a while now in Eden full release

Thanks for all your work

m0v1em4n · 2012-07-28, 02:30

Hi Guys,

Just for your info, now have X10 Commander working in XBMC Frodo, things seem ok but got to test for a while

etep15 · 2012-08-20, 02:16

Shoop_NL,

I was wondering if you plan to add support for Mac software? Specifically Thinking Home. It has the X10 Commander interface that listens on ports 6003 and 6004. However it does not have 8086 up. I'm assuming that's some sort of Web XML interface that the X10 Commander software has but Thinking Home does not?

I believe ports 6003 and 6004 are for the mobile apps to communicate and control the X10 Commander.

So I guess I'm really asking is whether or not you can add support for this protocol?

Or am I just doing things wrong and this should all work?

Appreciate the help and hoping to enjoy this add-on on my mac mini server running xmbc. Smile

Pete

So it can take a while before I find something.

Thanks a lot.

Martin75a,

I failed to get a good teldus setup, do you have any ideas how I can create that.
Then maybe I am able to test and solve your problem.

Hi Pete,

I am not an expert on Mac, but I guess your you are running thinking home to use X10 commander

On this site I have found how to setup webaccess for thinking home
According to the example file, after activating you can reach thinking home via a http request in a form like:

Code:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/thinkingHome-cgi?devName=" + deviceName + "&action=" + action + "&amount=" + amount

This line above I can add to X10 commander lights, then the addon is able to give command straight to the webservice of thinking home.
Do you want this to be added so you can test it?

Please let me know and I will try to release a test version for you.

Either it is the { } character or maybe that SK seems to require a username and password to connect through http
This works in a web browser.

I use wget for HTTP commandline funktionality, Is this possible for you?

Martin75a
If you are using this wget, should string you need not be:

Code:

wget http://User:[email protected]:8800/devices/35/dim/100

is this wget something you have installed on your machine where you run XBMC?

It'seams the your http layout does not show correctly

Code:
?x10command=DEVICE~sendplc~%22A1%20ON%22

it should be:

Code:
?x10command=DEVICE~sendplc~"A1 ON"

Shoop_NL,

This would be excellent. I am using "Thinking Home". I can definitely get the web server activated for this. I would be grateful if you could add this code and would be more than willing to test it out for you!

Thanks!

Pete

I think you missed something here, that http code is from my successful WGET request, not the X10 service.
It's simply sending the URL encoded version of the line, " = %22.
That WGET command is working, I typed it in after the service did not work.

OK I think maybe you need the hardware to install the telldus setup then.

Quote:Is this wget something you have installed on your machine where you run XBMC?

Yes wget is only a small software you put on the computer that you want to run it from. In this case the XMBC machine. It then send the HTTP requests to the address you add.

You can see how it works by put wget on any of your computers. Here is how.

Code:
1) Copy wget to for exampel your c:

2) Open yor XBMC and go to System/Settings/Network/Services and allow control of XBMC through HTTP (Port 80)

3) Start a movie in XBMC

4) Open CMD

5) type in c:\wget.exe  -t 1 http://<YOUR IP ADDRESS TO YOUR XBMC MACHINE>/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Pause()

    "in my case "c:\wget.exe  -t 1 http://192.168.1.148/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Pause()"

If you done everything right you movie should be Paused.
Thanks for still trying to get this to work.

regards
Martin

Hi all,

Anyone capable of making this addon working with an homewizard to control rf equipment ? ( http://www.homewizard.nl )

The only thing i found out it communicates through http commands via an file called server.rb ( from the homewizard app on a iphone ), i wanna post this file but can't seem to find a way doing this? Anyone ?

Thnx,

Dave

Hi,

Since I am currently finalizing Release 1.0 I am not enable to make a quick update like an (V0.0.6 beta)

However I have added homewizard to the Release 1.0 of the Add On, which should be released next week (FINALY!).
There is not a lot of info to go on:

Code:
http://<ip>/<password>/sw/<id>/on

http://<ip>/<password>/sw/<id>/off

http://<ip>/<password>/sw/dim/<id>/<dimLevel>

But I have found some example's of the http requests (see above),
Which I have build in to release 1.0

Regards

deffcon · 2012-11-20, 10:40

Shoop_NL,

Wow, this very cool can i mail ( pm ) you an file called server.rb ( from iphone ), in that file are all the commands that the homewizard can handle at this moment, i got this from the app version 2.1.0 ( iphone 4s )

I hope that this is possible to add those command from the server.rb file into you're addon, is there a way to help you out ?

Thnx in advance,

Sincerly,

Dave Haakenhout
