It is +based on the program X10 by Larry Cambell as modified by Paul Fox. All but a +few functions have been changed enough that they no longer interwork with +the original. I think this justifies issuing the program as 'heyu' instead +of 'x10'. + +The program name comes from the old joke about having a 3rd person in the +house. Ida No was the one frequently blamed when things went wrong. In my +house it was the frequently heard yells of "Heyu! Turn off the lights!" +A poor joke, but I like it. + +The program is strictly command line driven, and works well with crontab. +Crontab can be used to schedule events. You can also upload timers and +macros to the CM11's memory. + +The program comes complete with source code, sample config files, MAN pages +an executable binary. The program has options to allow you to: + + * Get the date and time from the interface + * Get information about current settings and module states + * Turn an X10 module on or off + * Dim or brighten an X10 module + * Monitor all data sent to or from the CM11A + * Get the status of intelligent X10 modules (rr501 for instance) + * Set the X10 clock from the computer's clock (time and date) + * Zero out the macro and event memory of the X10 + * Upload macros and timers + * preset the dim level of advanced two way devices |
