EZSnsRF

[jchonig1]

Anyone using this with MH?  I just received the one I ordered.  I have
not noticed support in MH and wondering there is another configuration I
need to use.  Or does code need to be written?

I have a remote bell and motion sensor at my gate.  Currently I'm using
a Powerflash interface with the standard Dakota receiver and am hoping
this will work better.

I'm using a PLM on Linux using the latest from svn.

Thanks (谢谢).

Jeff

I just took a quick look at the "quick-start guide" (which rarely gives
useful, detailed info).  From my perusal, it looks like your individual
devices get mapped into insteon group numbers.  How that happens isn't
all that obvious (to me); so, you'll have to figure it out.

Let's suppose that your motion sensor is mapped to group 3 and that your
ExSnsRF's insteon address is 12.34.56.  Then, define the following in
your items.mht:

IPLL, 12.34.56:03, gate_motion_sensor,  Sensors, plm

Note that you'll have to adjust your plm reference to it's real name.
Also, note the padding of the group number with a zero.

Next, just link your new gate_motion_sensor to your plm via the "link to
interface" web function as is described in
http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/Insteon+Linking+and+Scenes

[ Dave S. -- if you're seeing this, you might try the same approach as
above to link your ControlLinc buttons. ]

I would suggest just trying one of these to see if it works ok.  If so,
then let us know as I'm beginning to work on a table of what devices are
supported and to the degree that they are.

I see a reference in my devcat table to a SimpleHomeNet EZX10RF; I don't
know if that's another name for your device or not.  If so, then it is
i2.  So, although the simple linking support w/i mh will likely work, I
don't know about more complex linking management.  I really need to get
my hands on a more complex i2 device to try the extended commands out.

If you encounter problems w/ the above, then read

Thanks I'll try that.

Simplehomenet has some VB utilities, but they require the 2414S, not the
2412S so I couldn't hook my PLM to a Windows box.

No, different devices.  This device is specific to the Dakota Alert 3000
remote sensors:
http://www.smarthome.com/_/ProductResults.aspx?Ntt=3Ddakota

SimpleHomeNet seems to have a bunch of documentation:

http://www.simplehomenet.com/support.asp?page_id=3DsupDownloads



On a side note, I see that Paul Niklewski at SHN commented on supporting
the EZSrve back in July, that support would be cool to have as it would
let MH share access with the above utilities.

Thanks (谢谢).

I know what you mean.  These days it seems better to simply ignore the
list than try to fight sf's obviously problematic servers.  I'll be
shocked if their overly rigid content filters let this pass.

I was hoping/expecting that there might be some manual means for you to
acquire a group number.  Possibly, it's on a first come--first serve
basis.  If it's not obvious, then my suggestion would be to make
inquiries of the company as to how you can perform the "pairing" and
know definitely which group number is assigned.  If the only answer is
to use a specific device on a specific OS, then they are after a
different audience.

Thanks for those references.  I'll take a look as I get the chance.

If he is actively acknowledging misterhouse, then I would expect that
you would have absolutely no problems getting the level of support
required as mentioned above.  Perhaps, this would be a good test.

I have something weird going on. My DNS is set up so that:
eee     A       192.168.2.37
mh      CNAME   eee.home.sinister.net.
misterhouse     CNAME   eee.home.sinister.net.

nslookup checks validate that everything works, qualified and unqualified.

Yet when I browse to:
http://[url]/ia5/index.shtml
where url = eee, eee.home.sinister.net
it works, but
where url = mh, misterhouse, misterhouse.home.sinister.net,
mh.home.sinister.net
I get page not found.

weird. I'd swear this used to work.

Second question: I'd like to change the default URL to a flat
http://misterhouse (without the ia5 reference) . Can anyone point me
to the right spot in the web code to change that?

thanks!

Rick

I was able to link a controlinc button in that manner, which is tres
cool.  With debug-insteon on, here's a snippet of me pressing button 2 on.

Pretty cool!  So I am reviewing
http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/Insteon+Linking+and+Scenes
I want to have misterhouse control the devices, because it's a real PITA
to set on level and ramp rates otherwise.  There is a great example
there for having misterhouse monitor the status, and I'm guessing that
the next paragraph discusses having misterhouse control things, but
that's where I'm getting buggered up.  I'm not asking for help (yet)-
just giving a progress report.
