[QUOTE="AtBadger, post: 134743, member: 47629"] Hi Guys - I have a setup running with 4 MP pc's around the house, with 2 of the boxes currently acting as x10 control points(cm11), and xap control and synchronization has been good and stable through this MP plugin and xapx10 connector. Groovy stuff. I had a couple of questions about configuration and a couple of things I would like to do.. All of my pc's have multiple network interfaces. I would like xap to operate on all interfaces. From a quick perusal of the spec it would seem it is only defined to use the primary interface currently and none of the hub implementations I've seen offer a way to configure multiple interfaces -- If this is the case, do you know of any quick route around this? In the xap-x10 connector gui, there doesn't seem to be a way to cleanly delete individual device entries. It seems it's more oriented toward importing a device file initially and moving to the xap-x10 connector service. Am I missing something, or is this the case? I see an example .csv file is included with the xap-x10 connector gui.. In the MP Setup for the Basic Home Automation Controller, should the listed devices be automatically synchronized with with those seen on the xap network? Is there a timeout period where unheard from devices will be marked inactive and/or deleted from the device list? The system I configured didn't seem to be operating this way and I couldn't see how to enable this type of functionality so I manually deleted the example devices -- However, this seemed to be difficult with the editor, as there is no OK button for changes and selecting devices was inconsistent and the only way changes seemed to be confirmed was moving from "devices" to "connectors" and doing a dummy "configure connector" ok. I couldn't find a flat file for this configuration information to edit directly and I was too lazy to look at the source so I'm assuming it is kept in the database? I have an x10 cm15a, but I wasn't able to dig up a xap connector for this controller -- do you know if one exists? I also have a controlthink z-wave USB controller that I would like to integrate, and I wasn't able to dig up a xap connector for it either -- once again, :eek: , do you know if one exists? If not, I see an xpl connector has been recently released for this z-wave controller -- does the MP plugin or the xapx10 connector support xpl? If not, what would you recommend to integrate in the z-wave controller? The route I was considering was using mi4's xap floorplan hub which I understand handles both xap and xpl.. Thanks for entertaining all the prattle! If I can help with anything, let me know.. -Jason [/QUOTE]
