X10 CM15A for SVN Download

Description:

X10 CM15A USB Device Control.

Info:

Edits from original source for x10 Automation by Nopap.
I only included what was needed in the code to make the cm15a work.
Basic on/off/dim/bright support.

At the same time,
I removed the old code that dealt with the CM11(xap support) and CM17(com port) support.

Make sure you have the ahscript X10 commandline tool (ahcmd.exe) installed, find it here
http://x10dispatcher.com/Downloads/ahscript_setup.exe
Install, and make sure C:Program FilesCommon FilesX10Commonahcmd.exe is present. Try a simple command (ahcmd.exe sendplc a1 on) just to test before you use the plugin.

The code calls the cmd line tool. Not the best approach, but the only one I knew how to do.
Hopefully, someone will come along and support this CM15a better, utilizing the sdk properly, and give us a nice interface like Patrick's BHA.

Notes:

Tested with SVN only, as of April 14th, 2007.
Bug; the delete function never seemed to work in the setup form. To get around this,
just edit/rename your entry to something else, or remove the entry from the mediaportal.xml
file under the X10Plugin settings.

Install:

Skin files for 16:9(Replicant) and a quick edit of the original 4:3(BlueTwo).
Replace the x10plugin.xml your currently using in your skin folder, and copy
the media files.

Copy the plugin to the plugins/windows folder.
To be safe, diable the oringal x10 plugin - that is included with MediaPortal.
Enable the X10 CM15A Plugin in configuration, and set it up.

Try it out.

To do:
Add a browse option to select location of the command line tool, to account for different installations. Right now it is coded to the default location on the C: drive.

from fab70 - Thanks or the plugin.. just one question: CM15A dims properly a lamp? I found CM11 no so relible in setting the right level of light

from ronsonol - Yes the dim function works fine using the cm15a. It does so in increments, 10% at a time(dim or bright).

from backslash - It seems that since these changes the X10 Remotes stopped working in MP. :-( In SVN before April 14th everything was ok. I tested with SVN from April 20th and it is still broken...

from pastimer - The MP driver also supports CM19A and CM21A. Is this also the case with this plugin?
