Michael:
I now have xapmcs1wire, xapmcsDatabase, xapmcsChart, and xapmcsHub all installed and running on my W7-64 bit PC.
Now it's time to make sure I understand each program.
xapmcs1wire is pretty obvious but I have several questions about some of the fields in the OneWire setup page.
In the sensor page, does the "Name" field do anything special for me, or is it just a way to make each sensor more recognizable? Is this name passed via xap message to any other xap node?
I am assuming the Cal and Rev field are the same as the ones in mcsTemperature. I can add a plus or minus offset to the received sensor reading with the Cal field. The Rev field is for switch polarity.
The next section with questions is the User-Defined Types. What can I do with these?
Counter calibrations look pretty self explanatory.
A few questions in the formatting section. If I check the Homeseer Header box how does this program know how to find the homeseer header. What about the exclude banner checkbox? I am trying these checkboxes checked both ways but I am not sure I see any changes in the web page from one state to the other. What about the Title of Footer checkbox.
In the xAp / HTTP section, what does the Included DisplayText Key checkbox do? In the SendBSC.Info every __ minutes, it defaults to 0. What exactly happens if that is not zero.
Query Devices button. It says "Report Status of All Devices via XapBSC Schema" Does that mean it sends the current values , states, or whatever of each accepted device as it currently is, or does it force a 1wire poll of all the accepted devices and report those values. When would I want to use this button?
