One way of getting an ADI Ocelot to work using MediaPortal is to use the easyapp plugin. I used it to run simple batch files that have the "old Ascii" commands for the Ocelot. I set up a separate batch file for each X10 device to turn on, dim, turn off etc. Then setup a separate set of applications under easyapp and you end up with point and click X10.
An example to switch the House Number B Device number 4 to on using the Ascii Command set is
+X010301
+X011801
The format of the string is as follows
Send X10 command
+Xhhkkrr
where hh is the house code 0 thru 15 (A-P)
where kk is the key (unit) code 0 - 15 (1-16)
where rr is the number of times to repeat this code 1 thru 15
example, send B 11 once +X011001
example, send B ON once +X011801
example, send B DIM 5 times +X012005
The example batch file to send the b4 on command to the serial port is
mode com1: baud=9600 data=8 stop=1
type c:\x10commands\b4on.txt>com1:
the first line makes sure the port is on and configured correctly
the next line simply types the content of the b4on text file to the com port.
I know this is crude, but I can tell you that I can now fully control my theatre screen, projector, ceiling lights (dimmable), rope lights, seat lights (dimmable), exit lights and equipment power using MP. I also have queued X10 commands for presets such as Movie Start that dims the lights, turns on the projector, turns on seat lighting, lowers the screen from one button press in MP.
For those that are interested, I use a Streamzap remote only for this and all of my MP setup.
If anybody needs screen shots or additional info, just ask.
