[QUOTE="Kaoh, post: 300311, member: 24754"] use that Marmitek box myself, its not a real USB device but uses a USB comm port translation, so your computer recognizes it as a Comm port. The xAp plugins work fine with it, so just use the xAP apps from the first page to setup, in that application specify the comm port and add your X10 devices, then the plugin should be able to find them. So use the Xap x10 connector from this page: [url]http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/xAP/X10/x10_downloads.htm[/url] I suggest the GUI version since the others are a nightmae to setup. Watch it, it has 2 property screens and you only need the one from the plugin inside this app to setup your device and comm connection. Then when done with that, make sure the firewall is not blocking the app and start the MP config after you deployed the plugin into your MP folder, then configure the process plugin to the interface plugin of this plugin. The device list should be filled matching the info you put into the above mentioned host app. All settings here are for enhanced user experience. Patrick, I have a problem mow myself and my xAp is failing me. I have the Xap connected to the CM11 and working fine, the xAp host broadcasts the devices fine and your plugin can send order fine also. But teh plugin does not recieve any info back from the xap host, an other machine does. So the xap host is working fine, but somehow this is machine is deaf to the answers but speaking loudly to send orders. It seems like the plugin is blocked for listening somehow. The stranger thing is that the Xap host is on the same machine even as the plugin, while the working machine is somewhere else in the network, and there the plugin does get all the answers back nicely. Answers are for example the device list or status info, the failing machine never updates a device to on for example. I hack the devices into the plugin (since it wont get a device list) my copying the db3 file from the working machine to the failing machine, so it can at least send the commands now. [/QUOTE]
