Hi there,
i'm new on this forum and got excited using x10 solutions for my new house (which will be ready in about a year).
But untill then I want to get familiar with the x10 possibilities. So I ordered a starterskit with EH-CM15Pro, EH-LM12, EH-AM12 and AutoHome software.
Which should arive today.
I am planning control the whole thing through a touchscreen LCD that would be mounted on a wall. I want to create my own interface. Using Flash / XML / PHP.
The flash application will "talk" to the Apache server (with a PHP module installed) and PHP will run command line commands (http://php-x10.sourceforge.net/). So far nothing to worry about.
But now comes the tricky part; I want to purchase motion detectors in the nearby future. And I want those motiondetectors to "talk" to my control system on the wall through RF-signals.
If I use the attached AutoHome software this wouldn't be a problem (I've read), only I'm using my custom (web)interface.
<b>Here it comes:</b>
Is there a solution to "read" RF-signals on your pc and translate that into (I don't know) text files / xml files?
Or should I try HomeSeer and see if I can make a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

Do I still need to purchase such a receiver even when I have this transceiver: CM15Pro (http://www.avdomotica.nl/gfx/CM15_pro_450.jpg)

You can receive the RF signals with the CM15pro but only from the compatible devices like the ms13a motion sensor etc. Check the manual for which devices. I don't know the Autohome software, if it's the standard delivered software with the CM15pro then it's better to replace it as soon as possible with software like Homeseer. I think the option with Autohome are limited.

There is also a RF receiver for the PC.

In Homeseer you can script everything.

ASP? WOOHOO! Ah well, pretty basic stuff.
ASP will be used to write to the database and PHP on the other hand for the reading (php > xml > flash).
Thanks, I'm getting more and more excited on domotica!

Hi Bas,
While reading this topic, the first thought that came to me was: "this sounds like overkill, using Homeseer just to write to a database"
I get the impression you know ASP, you know how to get things done in PHP, you can handle Apache & MySQL, so why get involved in Homeseer?
Add some Perl to what you already know (and some spare time [:D]) and you can do all you want...
Well, maybe a strange advice, but in the end it all comes down to the question whether you're a only a "user" or not. If you're the latter, skip Homeseer and DIY.

Thanks Robert,
I'm currently active as a flash developer in the Netherlands, but I'm "blessed" with some PHP knowledge. So that's why I'm planning on making my own flash interface using a touchscreen TFT which reads a mySQL database and sends commandline x10 commands trough PHP.
The only problem is; how do I get to "read" (for instance motions), so I stumbled upon this (http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=310) and thought: "Hey that's easy, I know PHP. Homeseer works in the background to read, so I only have to merge those two together using DCOM"
About the ASP/PERL:
You're partially correct, I do "know" ASP (the fundamental basics).
PERL on the other hand; I have to start from the absolut basics, I know scratch. Ofcourse I've got some programming background which might help. So maybe in the long run I will switch to the more advanced solution.
But since I am a beginner using domotica and x10 in particular, I think I need to "learn" using the basics and from thereone develop myself.
Thanks for your input!
