q-sonic (x10) stops working from time to time

[m00k00]

Hey there, it's me again

Now i have a little strange problem: Sometimes the remote control simply stops working. If i use Reload in EGs debug mode, everything is working fine again. i checked the usb hub and decided to not use it anymore but plug the receiver directly to the machine. anyways, nothing helped so far. the remote control is a q-sonic i'm using it with x10 remote plugin. Anyways there are no error messages or anything in the event log.

thanks again

I have no clue. Some user reported a similiar problem, but it was gone after he removed his hub. Myself I have never encountered such problem and I use an X10-Remote daily.

thanks for your reply, again. Could you give me the version of your x10 usb wireless transceiver driver?
Mine is V2.36. Anyways, since i removed the extension cable between the pc and the transceiver the problem didn't show up again. Bitmonster: Could you be so friendly to point me directly to the line in source, where EG receives the event of the x10 ? I want to do some debugging, but i'm not sure, if i have the correct line by now

This is the callback the driver will call on every event in plugins/X10/__init__.py:

Code: Select all

    def OnX10Command(self, bszCommand, eCommand, lAddress, EKeyState, 
                           lSequence, eCommandType, varTimestamp):
        if not self.plugin.isEnabled:
            return
...

so you can change it to:

Code: Select all

    def OnX10Command(self, bszCommand, eCommand, lAddress, EKeyState, 
                           lSequence, eCommandType, varTimestamp):
        print bszCommand, eCommand, lAddress, EKeyState, lSequence, eCommandType, varTimestamp
        if not self.plugin.isEnabled:
            return
...

and it will show all information associated with every event.

I forgot to mention, that my X10 driver is also V2.36.
