MisterHouse support for CM15Pro (CM15A)

[Mario Markovic]

Hi to everyone!

My name is Mario Markovic. I am from Rijeka (Croatia) and I am studying
electrical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of
Rijeka. I am currently working on my diploma-thesis which topic is X10
protocol and everything that goes with it.


Very important part of my thesis is enabling X10 CM15Pro (CM15A) Computer
Interface to work under Linux (Ubuntu). So far I managed to install some
drivers and turn on/off lights with small Perl script. Now I want to make
MisterHouse to work with CM15Pro. But, here is where I've encountered on a
problem. So, how do implement CM15Pro (CM15A) support for MisterHouse?

So far I tried to follow instructions from this link
http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/X10-CM15A
but with no success.

Thanks in advance for Your answers.


Best regards,

Mario Markovic

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you first must learn how to ask
questions in a way that makes it likely that you're going to get an answer,
especially if you add the latency of Email.

Let me explain:
"Hi, I just installed misterhouse and it doesn't work. Please let me know
what's wrong with it."

In other words, put yourself in the shoes of the person who's going to try
to help you when you ask a question if you're hoping for an answer :)

putting aside http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#homework
if you show you did enough work when asking your question :)

Thanks for the advices.

The thing is that I successfully installed MH (at least I think I did).
Then I followed instructions from
http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/X10-CM15A but with no result. First, I
can't open http://localhost:8080 (I tried to change the port, it didn't
help). I found out that I can access MH web menu by typing my IP address.

But, I get two new lines (commands) in the blue window of MH (not in web
browser) that state "turn test cm15a lights on" and "turn test cm15a
lights off" but nothing happens when I run them.

Everything that came up in Terminal window since running MH till issuing
upper commands You can find in the attachment.

Thanks in advance.

I don't use cm15a so I cna't help you with that, but look at the error log
you posted:

That's obviously a clue that something is wrong :)

That too.

That explains why the web interface doesn't work. Don't you have localhost
in /etc/hosts?

not sure where those strings came from, but you need to fix that.

And that's obviously the error you generated, so things won't work until the
device is there.

Getting the cm15A to run can be a bit on the tricky side. If you have
the module loaded and the device plugged in, you see an entry LIKE
/dev/usb/cm15a0. In my distribution of linux I got a /dev/cm15a0 (This
was on a CentOS 5 system). After you find that and make sure your device
is seen in the system (you should see the standard usb devices plugged
into system alerts in the kernel log, including where they are assigned
in the /dev directory) so if you could do an lsmod to see if cm15a is in
the list, as well as doing a generic lsusb you should also see the X10
controller on one of the USB entries. I would provide working examples,
but my CM15A is packed in a box right now (I hate moving) and I can't
connect it at the moment to provide you a little more help on the
example side.

Now, if the lsmod doesn't provide a cm15a item in the list you need to
find the modules you compiled (if you followed the instructions you
should have done that already) and need to try an insmod cm15a.ko (or
cm15.a.o if you are running a 2.4 kernel).

Please include an output of the lsmod and lsusb in the response for a
little better help. I think making sure the O/s sees your cm15a first
would be a great step, and then nail out the MH stuff afterwards.

As a side note, the test routines you mentioned aren't linked to
anything by default, so you have to set up items that point to real X10
devices to get those to work.

I'd expect /dev/cm15a0, at some point there was some sub-system that
automagically built the device dynamically and there was a change to
the /dev/ directory instead of the /dev/usb/ directory.

First of all, I want to thank you all for your suggestions.

I changed /dev/usb/cm15a to /dev/usb/iplc0 and that helped becuse that is
my device file. Now, running "turn on (off) the test light" from blue MH
windows actually turn on and off the light. So MH is communicating with
CM15Pro.

Next thing that I want to do is to add support for CM15A in MH web menu
where I can select lamp module address and turn it, on, off, dim,
bright... I tried to enter following code in the mh.privte.ini file but it
didn't help:

cm15a_device=/dev/usb/iplc0
x10_interface=cm15a
debug=X10
x10_errata=4

Thanks once again.

What driver are you using? What Distribution? The iplc should only appear
with the Insteon PLC (2414). Something is really odd.

I've installed CM15Pro drivers by following

http://scottzumwalt.blogspot.com/2008/07/cm15a-x10-home-automation-with-linux.html

When I think about it, maybe it's iplc0 because in one step I issued
"mknod --mode=a=rw /dev/usb/iplc0 c 180 240"

Ah! You just used a different name, that's okay. It might be wiser
to change:

mknod --mode=a=rw /dev/usb/iplc0 c 180 240

to

mknod --mode=a=rw /dev/usb/cm15a0 c 180 240

Hi.

I have a new question. It's not about MH, it about Perl. But since MH is
based on Perl, you might now the answer.

I want to make a script which I can run from Ubuntu Terminal window. So
when I type, e.g. "perl name_of_the_script.pl A6", light with the A6
address should turn on. I read the "A6" by using the ARGV. But later on, I
can't enter the variable (or appropriate format of it) in the "pack"
function. In the attachment is the .pl script with comments to help you to
see what I want.

I kindly ask for Your help.

Meanwhile, I've solved the problem. Thanks anyway.

Cheers.
