[QUOTE="TritonT, post: 497932, member: 26020"] I have just found this thread and can't see why anyone is bothering with a new plugin. If you just want to switch X10 stuff on/off this can be achieved with a single background program and a 1 line bat file. This bat file can then be triggered from inside MediaPortal by creating a menu item with MultiShortcut. If you want proper automation use Patrick’s xAP plugin. I have found it very reliable. At the minute I have linked to: 12 X10 modules (appliance, lamp, PIR, door bell) 8 1-wire modules (temperature, humidity, open/closed) 5 iButton modules (for door entry identification) 7 raw relays (for stuff you can’t trust X10 for) 16 raw open/closed sensors (for door and window status) 2 bluetooth mobile phones (for room presence (unreliable)) 1 hayes modem (for Caller ID screen pop) This is all made possible with xAP providing the ‘glue’ between the actual devices and MediaPortal as one of the controllers.
