[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 487362, member: 83474"] Update... Okay, I think I have the overall architecture set up for this new plugin. I made a HORRIBLE assumption in the beginning, I was thinking that I would integrate the server functions with the TV Server. But then I quickly realized that I was not going to connect the CM15A module on my server :( Soooo.... I went back to the drawing board. The new architecture model uses Windows TCP Remoting, so it will be easy to send commands across the network. Also, I am utilizing the ActiveHome SDK, so any controller compatible with the SDK will work (I believe the documenation says the Firecracker & CM15A are definentely supported, not sure about any others.) The new plugin will have two install packages. The first will be the server install. This will run on the machine that the X10 controller is plugged into. It will be used to configure all your X10 devices (Lights, recepticles, etc...) The second package will be the client install for MP. There are two parts to the client side. The first is the configuration to eventually include events (Drop screen when MP opens, Turn down lights when movie starts, etc...) The second part of the client will obviously be the GUI where you can control all your devices. Soooo... Now what I need from the community is this... 1. Define the events you want to see on the client side (When MP Opens & Closes, when movie starts, etc...) 2. Outline the devices you will be using (Light switches, recepticles, light modules, thermostat, etc...) 3. Which skins are you using? (The first version will probably be compatible with StreamedMP, Blue2 & Blue2wide.) Wile E. Hey Sk3wby, Yes, I did see that plugin, thank you. I have looked a few different plugins from different forums, but have not really found anything that fit into my vision of the new plugin architecture. The SDK provided for the ActiveHome software does almost everything I want it to do, so starting from scratch may not be a bad thing :) Thanks, Wile E. Hey bodiroga, From the research I have been doing, the ActiveHome software works with the CM11 correct? If so, and since I am using the ActiveHome SDK, should probably work with your CM11. If you are interested send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a trial when I have it to a good point... Thanks, Wile E. [/QUOTE]
