Description: | This is a simple Perl control script for the X10 Firecracker module (http://www.x10.com/firecracker/fc_x10_cm17a_br1.htm). Useful for simple crontab timer applications. The Options are overly wordy to make for easy crontab reading later on. Requires the ControlX10::CM17 module and Device::SerialPort module from CPAN. Serial port dependancy means that this code is probably not portable to Windows platforms without some modifications; other portability unknown. |

Default action is ON. --hcode=[a-z] set housecode for command. Defaults to housecode "A". --secure {optional} Add a random delay between 0 and 30 minutes before executing command. Useful for timer applications. Set the command to run at the EARLIEST time you want it to happen. --port=device 'device' should be the full path to the port, e.g. "/dev/ttyS1". Optional. If not specified, defaults to /dev/ttyS0 (COM1). --verbose {optional} Print status messages. ECHO exit (1); } } |
