X10 Triggers

Post by wfmerchant »

I just started to setup X10 triggers and have not bee success. I have the firecracker attached to my com1 port and a house transiever. Then another lamp modul that I am trying to turn on. I turned X10 on in options, Checked the x10 box in the General tab and then under the x10 tab for the camera I want to generate a x10 trigger I put 2+90.

Any help sent my way would be much appreciated.

Hi Bill,

Do you see anything in zmx10.log?

X10 Trigered Events

Philip,

I looked in the /tmp (zm_path_logs) directory and did not see any x10 logs.

zmx10.pl Error

Post by wfmerchant »

Philip,

Just looked in the zmdc.log and greped for x10. Looks like an error occured when it tried to trigger a lap from a motion detection of my FrontDoor camera. The following lines are the error messages from "cat zmdc.log | grep x10"

Yes, you were missing the X10::ActiveHome and Device::SerialPort perl modules. I _think_ it's working now anyway.
