[QUOTE="Kaoh, post: 339543, member: 24754"] What you should do is install the xAP application from the first post on the server with the CM15 attached. Then your server can recieve any xAP message and transmitts it to the powerlines for your X10. So then running the MP plugin on any machine in the network should do the trick. The xAP application works as a server for this purpose. Your only real point of attention will be the Home server, does the software you run there require a direct attcahed CM15 if so your in trouble since the comm port or USB device in this case may not allow multiple connections at once. So the Home automation server there should be able to work through the xAP also. Then your home automation software would become a client just like the mp plugin on the network. I use for example a server with the power line converter (CM11 in my case) somewhere in my network and have 3 MP clients running the plugin from this thread, and they all can manage the lights. So it all comes down to the home automation software you use and if that is cable of transmitting xAP messages (and recieving). However many do, but that will require more setup on your part.
