About essentials and a CM11A X10

Post by Sjoerd »

Hello everybody,



I live in europe and we have here the CM11A X10 controller.

And not the CM17A controller. The plugin that is available for home controll is only for cm17a. Can or has anybody it working with a CM11A

controller.



This would be very nice. :lol:



Thanks anyway

If you reinstall HouseBot, you will also see a hardware interface for the CM11A. I and many others have it working just fine.

Hi thanks for your responce,



I saw in the list of housebot that there is a Meedio Essentials Integration.

But how do I do that. I mean I would like to have

Meedio Essentials Integration with a x10 (CM11a) controll

But how con I integrate housebot into Meedio Essentials.



I think when I got that covert it will look very fine !!



Thanks

Or you skip HouseBot and go with the Essentials X10 plugins. Maybe they will work for you. If HouseBot needs to stay in the loop, the Essentials plugin cannot be used because you cannot control the CM11 from two different programs sharing the same COM port. See the link above for HouseBot / Meedio integration. Not very advanced yet, but it is all you get. Other workarounds can be found by using the external command.



Good luck
