Hi,
After trying Active Home, HomeSeer and many other Linux/DOS/Windows X10 apps I was unable to find the X10 control software that I felt would meet my own demanding needs. Consequently I eventually gave up searching and am now developing my own X10 software from scratch.
Although I have access to several interfaces including CM11U (PC), XM10U (TW523) + TWSERIAL. I am currently focusing on the TWSERIAL setup first for the simple reason that I needed an application which met my needs now and I didn't want to spend time understanding the CM11U.
My X10 application is being developed to be cross platform: DOS/Win32 and most likely Linux. In brief this is what I have developed so far:
In addition to the above I have also previously written an automation tool for Ericsson mobile phones which I am thinking about merging into this X10 tool and then adding new code for Nokia for my own purposes.
Reply to this message if the above sounds of interest as I will be happy to start to share a version of my software once I have cleaned it up a bit more added some basic documentation. I need some beta testers! :-)
P.S I am planning to attend UK Home Automation 2004 with a friend or two

My X10 application is being developed to be cross platform: DOS/Win32 and most likely Linux. In brief this is what I have developed so far:
- + X10 packet sniffer capability with reception of all X10 house/unit codes
+ Verbose/non-verbose debug output on X10 packet sniffer
+ Coloured output to allow distance reading (e.g. red = off, green = on)
+ Basic support for transmission of multiple different X10 housecodes
+ Basic support for X10 code remapping, e.g if A1 received then retransmit as P2
+ Support for shelling applications on X10 codes, e.g. email client, scripts
+ Support for external/internal relay controllers via IO or BUS ports
+ Proper installation/removal software
In addition to the above I have also previously written an automation tool for Ericsson mobile phones which I am thinking about merging into this X10 tool and then adding new code for Nokia for my own purposes.
