CM15A with Linux

See homeauto dot usandthem dot com.

I have an (old) sample app there that runs on linux, using libusb to talk to the cm15a. Also, much of the protocol is documented.

My full blown app was originally written for 1-wire and includes a full scripting language and has been running in "production" for months - with close to 100 configured events

It doesn't allow downloading events to the cm15a, but will try to make sense of events that were download by AHP.

Okay, I'll give that a try soon. It looks like a command line program. Which could be great for hooking up with MisterHouse. (I think)

BTW: I mistakenly said MisterHome instead of MisterHouse above

It seems that heyu2 doesn't support CM15A either... Am I wrong?

They seem to only support CM11A and CM12A

When I run this as root I get: USB Interface error at 254: 116

Available Keyboard Commands: l - List Devices and Status q - quit

When I try little 'L' I get nothing. I have 3 devices connected. Any suggestions?

Do you have libusb installed? If so, which version? What kernel are you running with?

Besides MisterHouse, there is heyu2. For simple tinkering around it works just fine.

I guess so... it linked. I'll have to check the version when I go home. Fedora Core 3 : Kernel 2.6.18 (I think)

You are probably right, sorry for the red herring.

The error is from trying to call usb_set_altinterface() reported at line 254 in libusbahp.c.

It might be a different version of libusb (I use 0.1.8), or it could be a kernel difference (I run redhat with 2.4).

Let me know the version of libusb and I'll see if that's the problem.

I downloaded and installed libusb 0.1.10a (the newest) and it seems to be running fine, so I suspect a difference in the kernel. I've got a machine I can upgrade to 2.6, but it wont be available for a few days.

It runs from the cmd line, but there are no cmd line arguments.

Thanks Woody.

libusb-0.1.8-3

FYI: I am having some limited success with Neil Cherry's code. It uses it's own driver though. So unfortunatly, I am beginning work on my own daemon.

If you haven't looked at heyu (it's currently in Beta as heyu ver 2.0 and no longer "heyu2") recently, take another peek. It has a lot more utility than just for "simple tinkering around". But it's only for the CM11A, not the CM15A.
