misterhouse-users Mailing List for MisterHouse: Home Automation with Perl (Page 2)

Didn't Bruce say a day or two ago that variables declared using 'my' in
column 1 only get defined once, at MH startup.

don't you mean:
set $basement_table $state if($state == $v_basement_table);

you're always going to get a true there if you're assigning $state, which I
don't think is what you were meaning to do.  (I didn't bother really looking 
at your code, but that appeared slightly off to me)

Well as it turns out this was my fault.  Here is what I typed:
$v_basement_table = new Voice_Cmd 'Basement table  [on,off]';
$v_basement_table-> set_info('Basement table lamp');
$v_basement_table-> tie_event('speak "Ok, the basement table lamp was
turned $state"');
set $basement_table $state = $v_basement_table;

Should have been:
$v_basement_table = new Voice_Cmd 'Basement table  [on,off]';
$v_basement_table-> set_info('Basement table lamp');
$v_basement_table-> tie_event('speak "Ok, the basement table lamp was
turned $state"');
set $basement_table $state if $state = $v_basement_table;


Sorry for the intrusion!

We were having some issues before with denial of services attacks from some
script kiddie a couple of weeks ago, I think most of that has cleared up by
now though.  If you guys have any more problems, just give me a shout and I'll
see if I can figure out what the problem is.

I am running mh2.3.2 and the time_less_than and time_greater_than
functions don't seem to be working. The code I am using is:

my $dark_flag = ( (time_less_than($Time_Sunrise)) ||
                  (time_greater_than($Time_Sunset)) );
if ($dark_flag) {
	...
}

The flag seems to get set correctly when I run mh but it won't change as
time changes. I added an if $New_Minute to monitor the flag over time and
it didn't change at sunset or sunrise. If I restart MH, the flag is
correctly set for the time of the restart.

Any idea what is wrong?

-Kip

Thanks, Bruce.

When I had the problems (last week), it was 100% consistent -- a download
would start, and then hang. I finally got it from a completely different
location (but same ISP...verio).

I did notice the file wasn't on misterhouse.net.

I didn't realize there was an ftp server for those files!  I just poked
around and the file here:


ftp://download.sourceforge.net/mounts/u3/sourceforge/misterhouse/misterhouse

Bill, for the record, this is the download you are having problems with
right?

Spaces in favorite_tv_shows search keys should be fine.   I tried a few
searches here and found the same problem you did:  for shows that are
continued from a previous html page, the '<cont' image messed things up.

Thats an odd error.  I'm not sure how we got a Voice_Cmd reference in
Serial_Item.  Simply changing an mht file entry from X10A to X10I should not
have caused any problems.  That simply, as you guessed, allows for light
states dim/bright, in addition to just ON and OFF.

Can you zip up and send me your code files (directly)?  Or maybe just the
code you changed, if you think that is what triggered the error.  Thanks.

Good mornign everyone.  I am having one of those night where I can't
sleep.

I am goofing around with MR house and I don't know if I found a bug or
not.

The only interface that I have defined is the CM11a on /dev/ttyS0 (linux
of course). At first I only had X10A s defined ( I assume this means
appliance on/off) and everything was happy.  However this evening I went
to add lights  using the X10I and now I get the following error message 
Error, serial set called, but no serial port 
found: data=Voice_Cmd=HASH(0x8ea7cbc)
 
So I still only have one interface defined and I want both appliances and
regular x10 items to use the CM11 is there something special that I need
to do? 

Thanks

I've never had any problems downloading from sourceforge.  I don't know if it
makes a difference if you're downloading from the ftp or http servers - try
doing it from both.  I will take a look at things tomorrow morning.

This happened to me once before; I remember complaining about it. I think

I haven't looked at it yet because I am still setting up lights.pl and

I do this currently and user redir.  You can get it from redhat or just go to
rpmfind.net and look for it there.  If you need help using it just let me know.

It might be overkill for what you want, but try looking at LVS (Linux
Virtual Server) which I beleive does port forwarding.

Do a search on Freshmeat for LVS and you'll find 2 programs for doing port
forwarding.

There might be an easier way, like I said, those 2 packages might be
overkill.

Hello,
	I haven't totally gotten my mh system fired up yet and here is
why.  I have a linux box that servers as my gate/ip-masq/web-server right
now it isalso functionin as my HA system using heyu and xtend. I have
written some php/mysql code to control adn report the status of
devices. Also here I have several Lava lamps that anyone can control and
view the result on my webcam (http://couch.dhs.org/~tprinty/spycam.html).

What I need to to is forward port 1080 on gateway to the firewalled system
that will be running mh. Is this ealy done using ipchains?

I would still like the web cam and associated pages to be house on my
firewall server.wb. Right now the lava light control is just a perl script
that does a system call to heyu.  I know there is a socket connection that
I can make to mr house but I was not able to find it in the examples. So
in other words how would I translate a "heyu turn a1 on" into a socket
call that mh would understand? 


I like what I am seeing so far. I love the VR stuff and the ability to
make it talk. I wanted to know how other are getting the voice inot other
rooms. 
I was thinking about getting some wireless speakers and using along
with lamp modules to turn on the different speech zones. I may be moving
soon so this should keep me resonable mobile.

Any hints?

Thanks -Tom

 Thanks Jonas,

 I actually already have Axis software installed for my Axis printserver, I
never though about using it, I will have a go. Jonas please let me know if I
can speak Swedish with you since you have an Axis email address you might be
based at Axis HQ in Lund Sweden, I live outside Nyköping.

 I have also recieved my new PCI card and that was working in my mh bos
within 10 minutes after open the box in the Armadastation which is the
docking statation for Compaq Armada laptops.

 Regards
 Roger

Hi,
One way around having to write the code could be to install an Axis remote printer driver on the win box.
http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/index.htm ("Print monitor", or "Print System")

The driver component can be setup to use raw tcp printing. That way it looks like a standard serial port to the windows apps, and connects to a ip/port on another host to transparently send and receive data.
