Dear SuSE'ers Last month Geordon M. VanTassle asked about anyones experiances with X-10 devices and SuSE Linux. I'm not sure anyone answered. I would like to hear about any experiances you have had with Linux and Home Automation. Thanks! ............

Peter was looking into it myself, this site may help. They had some RH rpms to install X10 devices that may work in Suse. When I was looking into it I didn't come across anything Suse specific. One of many projects for when I had time I was going to look into. Quite a few related sites for X10 devices in Linux, try search X10 Linux on google. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wish/ X10 device drivers for Linux creating a /dev device for each X10 unit in the house.

Limited experience, but some. I have set up two wireless hidden cameras to surveil outside areas. Both work fine. I use Xawtv to view their output. Under the option "video source" click "composite". That worked fine so I have not tried any other programs. Each camera has a wireless transmitter that is picked up by a receiver which connects to my video card (ATI Radeon) through a (yellow) RCA video plug. Cameras are selected via X10 "Powerhouse" selector. Works fine. Richard

Perhaps homevision. There is an rpm at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/7.3-i386/RPMS.extra/ http://home.wanadoo.nl/sbron/ -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

If you want to control X-10 modules (I'm using x-10 to reset my cable modem whenever it can't ping my gateway, which has been rare since I upgraded the connection for funktronics.ca to a *much* better one a few months back): ftp://ftp.funktronics.ca/pub/rpm/SuSE-8.2/i586-f/bottlerocket-0.04c-2.i586.rpm If you want to use an X-10 Mouse Remote (I don't use this anymore due to stability problems): ftp://ftp.funktronics.ca/pub/rpm/SuSE-8.2/i586-f/MouseRemote-0.90-5.i586.rpm Both packages are available via apt if you have funktronics in your sources.list. I don't know anything about the cameras, sorry. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+7hIZ+FOexA3koIgRAh+TAKC6FrSGRGdw5llzxBKVudTSAN2YXwCfcFVd TfEZi58kD5JzNiHibehzZVo= =IsPI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thanks James, Moving down to Southern CA (Anza), cheaper housing (ok wife came into some property, 5 acre Ranch. I can't argue with that :)). So I have been looking at X10 also, specifically for water sprinkler control. Check here, uses perl scripts and is very Linux friendly http://www.misterhouse.net Think I saw an example of a camera being used. Thanks, Matt
