Interesting.. I never knew about this thread...

I'm no longer MIA there...

Let me check... I know it is in a later unreleased build but not sure on the release version... I think you could work around it anyway ... I'll be back.....

AFAIK there is no standalone Z-Wave xAP bridge but if you have any automation software that supports Z-Wave and xAP eg HomeSeer then you can control your devices via xAP .. There must be other aps...

Interesting Lehane - I might give this a go although I'm using a different distro. I have a spare Pi though which I could use.

If you ever get a chance to port the iServer to the Pi (TCP...

Yes , it's frightening the AMX and Crestron costs and the software is restricted to their installers too - but the end results are very professional if you can afford. Fortunately there's now...

I'm one of those using a dedicated external alarm panel with my HA system. It has all three of the interfaces Philipp mentions, RS-232 serial, dry contacts and Ethernet and I use the first two. In...

b33k34 - Your thoughts about single point of failure are interesting and something often overlooked by HA users. Actually ignored or tolerated is probably a better word as failures are rare. Most...

I have a Loxone mini server here that I have been evaluating for a few weeks. The initial interest came after an enquiry about replacing a HomeVision system (now discontinued) + xAP gateway with...

As xAPTel is not dialling what we need to determine is if

1) xAPTel is not receiving xAP messages and hence not seeing the dial request... or

2) It is receiving the message and either ignoring...

This is the message where xAPTel announces it's outgoing lines - note the source address has :cawdor appended and the UID now ends in 01 for this line



This is the dial command from Switchboard...

I'm trying to do this from memory which is not a good approach but I haven't used xAPTel in a long while. If you could address the questions I asked it would help refresh my understanding of the...

That isn't the issue.... if the OCX wasn't there then you would get a runtime error thrown... and also xAPTel wouldn't be able to send xAP messages, and Switchboard would fail too.

Just FYI the...

I'm really snowed under just at the moment and haven't had time to look back at what was implemented way back then... but I expect that there needs to be a target= line in the header that addresses...

I'm a little unsure of your intent here - are you saying you want to get Girder to intercept the dial requests from Switchboard and action them (rather than xAPTel) ? So Girder has it's own...

It's been a long long time since I used xAPTel but I'll take a look at this although it's not something I'm likely to be able do before Xmas and maybe not even before New year as I am away a lot over...

I think the important thing is that the BSC schema is properly implemented as I have seen it being used in a single directional implementation or worse still providing a periodic status response but...

I got a small package in the post this week too ;-) I generally avoid using devices in my home that don't acknowledge control requests or return status, especially for local control. X10 went a while...

Are there definite devices that you need to add here and defined schema that you would like them to use ? I ask because X10 for example had a couple of schema and there are some others that don't...

One thing I have done a lot of work with is a native iOS (iPad / iPhone / iPod) touch screen control application that is fully customisable and supports xAP directly either via UDP or iServer (TCP)...

Interesting Kevin.. thanks for this.. I wish I had a rftxrx433 to try it out.. tempted again now...

xFX Viewer is the standard listener app. (.NET) but that may not be appropriate for you....

Triton,

Just a thought. I'm guessing you're a HomeSeer user and RFXCOM sell a plugin for that. Does that not support the new rfxtxr433 ? As the manufacturer they have the incentive to do...

It's interesting - I get more comment about xAP issues with these mcs 1-wire apps than anything else. It's a shame as it's nothing to do with xAP but usually the vagueries of 1-wire networks, or...

TritonT,

Welcome - first post I see, and in a way there in a nutshell is why we are where we are. I know there are a lot of lurkers that use xAP extensively but don't contribute back to the...

Earlier this week my IDRANet network became really unresponsive and Cortex indicated I had a couple of nodes fail. The effect on the remaining network was awful with buttons not working or long...

I have an existing Crestron system and no incumbent dealer and so I would like to get in contact with a dealership that could provide me with occasional product and support/advice (at appropriate...
