LynX-10 plugin 1.7.2 released...

[firtha]

This is the latest version... Thermostat initialization works fine (at least at my place).

The changes are:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>I found that the X10 packet received after a collision is NOT the packet which collided, as I first thought, but the next good packet. The previous version of the plugin would ignore this packet.

<LI>Also, the processing for X10 status was not working correctly, the acknowledge from the thermostat after a command was received (J Status On) was not being passed to the thermostat plugin.

<LI>I implemented the LynX-10 Xon/Xoff commands; when an Xoff is received, transmission of new packets stops until an Xon is received.

<LI>I've added the LynX-10 statistics to the options window, as well as the LynX-10 receive threshold adjustment. (This is the number of characters allowed in the LynX-10 input buffer before it drops CTS.) The LynX-10 statistics are uploaded when the window is opened.

<LI>All changed items in the options window take effect when 'OK' is clicked, except for baud rate change, which requires a restart.[/list]

I'll give it a try as soon as I can get this stupid HomeSeer Forum server to actually download the file, it took me 4 minutes just to get it to display your message. I'm really surprised to hear that the plugin didn't already support flow control, that's a rather large OOPS.

Ok, it's better, but still having problems. I installed it and restarted homeseer, the thermostat started to initialize correctly, then fell apart. During the process I turned on debug and looked at the stats, I was not seeing any errors, just normal sends/receives. Here is the failing log:

I re-installed the old 1.0.4 version and this was my normal startup sequence.

The board is scorchingly slow this morning.

The Xon/Xoff is a 'feature', because the flow control is supposed to be done in hardware; the code to initialze the com port for CTS flow control is there (Lynx-10 drops CTS signal when its input buffer is filling)... so, Xon/Xoff should never happen. I noticed in my testing that it WAS happening, so I decided to implement it. This version sets the 'CTS receive threshold' to 32 characters by default, so that when the Lynx10 has 32 charaters in its buffer that have not been processed, it should drop CTS. The '32' is changeable in the options, but only in the range 16 to 48.
I've tested it with Jim's thermostat plugin, and it was working wonderfully, (until my thermostat locked up that is.) It takes about 30-32 seconds to initialize one thermostat (best case)

The initialization could be faster, maybe, because the thermo log had a lot of 'waiting for X but received Y' messages. I haven't looked into this, but perhaps the plugin is somehow doing this. When I get my thermostat working again, I'll have a look.

I haven't addressed the multiple commands to Leviton switches problem yet; my test event (that duplicates your event) seems to work OK here; once you try this plugin, I hope you can post a (verbose) debug log showing what's going on.

Edit: Just saw your post with the thermostat problems... Crud... I'll have a look ASAP.

One other observation, are the settings in the Options panel really only supposed to be one character wide? When you mentioned the range on the buffer was 16-48, I remembered that I could only see the first character. The xmit/recv stuff is actually a two digit percentage also as I recall, but I only see the first digit.

btw, I really like the fact we can see the statistics now.

Thanks for the work you're doing, we're making progress!

I think I've run afoul of the flexibility of windows... I have the little boxes sized OK for the fonts on my system, which of course does not guarantee that they'll be OK on anyone else's.

I'll make 'em bigger, but there's no doubt a spiffy way in windows programming to make them size automatically... if anyone knows, please let me know. Sooner or later someone is going to have their font set at 'Zapf Calligraphy 72' or something, and wonder why the little boxes are so little...

I realize this is a 14 year old thread...but...I love my Lynx10-PLC and would love to use it with HS3. Has anyone ported the code to HS3? Any Lynx lovers find a workaround to use the older driver or some other software to make it work with HS3?
