RE: Re: Logging HV received X10 signals

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark, I'll look into that. I presume it will log ALL X10 including
that sent by HV?

Will it write into an Access DB?

Thanks,

Paul.

If I can log the received only signals, I may be able to find some
pattern.

Paul,

How I'd do it (may be overkill, but as ever the tools I'm familiar
with are the quickest to deploy.)

1: Set up the Homevision xAP connector, which will take all the X10
messages incoming, and send them as xAP messages.

2: Set up the xAP Database logger, which will take all the xAP
messages and log them to a database.

Both are available for download from www.ascentium.co.uk\xap

Of course, this rather hinges on you having a database hanging about.
I use MySQL, which is very straightforward to download and set up.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mark
