WebBased X-10 Server ? SiO 07-14-07

Hi all,

I'm looking for a X-10 home automation software to build a dedicated
server to control my house. I'm using X-10 devices all across the
house. I will also use satellite stations (Laptops) that need to access
server (thats why webbased server would be useful)

Features I'm looking for are the following:

- Web Based interface/Web server
- Working with CM11A controller
- Linux or Windows or Dedicated
- Need programmable macro to react to different trigger

Beside Mr.House, any suggestions?
Ive been searching the web for the past 7 months without finding the
perfect software.

Thx to all of you.

SiO

Thx, but yes I did check this one out.
This software is more of a complete Multimedia manager then a
concentrated Home Automation software.

One software I did like but that is now off market is the XION. Im
looking for something of that type. (http://xion.annalytics.co.uk/)

Any other suggestions? What are you guys using at home?

HEYU <http://www.heyu.org> is a full-featured command-line Linux
program for X10 automation with a CM11A.

I understand some folks use the PUTTY SSH client
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty>
under Windows or Linux for accessing it over the Internet.

BTW, here's a PHP based web interface for Heyu that's under
development: <http://domus.link.co.pt>

(I haven't tried it myself.)
