I would say my biggest challenge is finding the money and time to do what I want! Mick

I've been thinking about this for some time now. It's been on my backburner for a few years while I'm building out the infrastructure for the entire HA system. After a few false starts I decided to build on the xPL protocol using the xPL4Java server and write whatever modules I needed for it...

I use custom software based on the xPL protocol with X10 based hardware. I used to use Homeseer but the company was going in a direction that was not compatible with my goals.

I agree - looks great! Nice job Dan.

I bought a few of these some years back and have been meaning to hook them into my HA system: AES ATP1000 Does anybody know whether they should work with the Elk? I did try one once and didn't have any luck, but I didn't pursue it. It uses a three wire connection, power, sensor and ground...

Pretty much related to this, I've been thinking about getting the M1XEP but then I saw the IP232. I don't really want the built in web browser based stuff, just to be able to connect to the Elk via ethernet instead of serial. Will the IP232 allow me to do this? Mick

Perhaps the info on this site will help... Mick

Paul, I agree with you on the fact that most of options are Windows based, which seems to be true of most things HA, not just xAP, take a look at all of the new product announcements on CocoonTech... Which is precisely the reason that I decided to write the stuff that I'm doing in Ruby. Java...

No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they had sidelined it, just that they had negative comments on it and did not seem to be inclined to incorporate it, just learn from it. I was particularly dismayed by the comment about "sloppy work". I still hold out hope and intend to communicate...

I think that they feel that MisterHouse is past it's prime and that they want to design and build software that works hand-in-hand with hardware that is designed for the software. They are talking about a reference platform for the hardware and possibly building a small number of units to sell...

I came across this yesterday and didn't find any references to it on CocoonTech. It is an open source home automation organization that includes among it's members Marc Fleury, from JBoss fame, and Neil Cherry who has been around Linux ha for quite some time, he is a MisterHouse guy. It...

Yes I have one. As far as I know it only streams from iTunes. The new version can directly stream from the online iTunes store as well (podcasts, movie rentals). The Apple TV does have a hard drive built in, although I don't use it. I use mine for watching podcasts (both from my local iTunes...

Well you're not alone in this regard. I haven't had time to follow up on it but I'm having the same exact problem. I have two of the KP keypads and can't get either of them to chime. Mick

How about this one: ATP-1000 from Automated Environmental Systems Input voltage: 5Vdc to 20Vdc 160 microAmps outputs 0 to 5Vdc
