since there is a X10 Output Alarm String it is only logical there also be a X10 Output Activation String.

I want to trigger an X10 chime when a camera is activated for confirmation, could do other things like turn on an IR spot light if I ever get one.

I have been digging arround in the zmx10.pl source, I dont know perl but I am a coder so I can see whats going on by the syntax alone. I found the issue and fixed it, but it brings up another possible issue.. first off all I changed the line that read: if ( $state == 2 && $monitor->{LastState} == 0 ...

thats a great feature idea, i could map path with the video's to my mythtv box and view events right from within myth without any hastle.
I already can watch my camera from my mythtv using mpeg instead of jpeg but I havent been able to view any events, only live images.

I am now tyring to use the X10 Output Alarm String to trigger the chime and turn on a light when ZM starts recording. However it is only sending the signal when it STOPS recording, not when it STARTS.. When my light never turned on I set it to !5 and now my lamp turns on when it STOPS recording.. it ...

ok, once again I figured it out shortly after my post.. as you can see in my log it wasent running anything, I had it set to NoDetect because the manual implies this is to be used for triggers.. however when I thought about it, continous vs triggered would apply to record.. so I set it to record and ...

ok I got me a pair of CM11A and now I am having the same issue as pcalleros, it is not triggering an event.. If I do a zmx10.pl -c on -u 5 it turns on device 5 which is my lamp device 1 is my motion sensor and it is seen by the monitor but dosent trigger an event. here is the log: Sending: AOF ...

crap, figured it out.. im new to X10 and aparently the firecracker device is transmit only.. I need the 2 way receiver.. makes sence, wish I woulda known

I am having problems getting X10 to trigger an alarm. I have the port setup and permissions are correct (www-data is part of the dialup group) but nothing shows up in the logs when I trigger the motion sensor.. I have a chime hooked up so I know the signal is good, using other x10 programs I send ...

well I just got my kit today, got it all setup and it chimes when motion is detected.. I can turn on and off the receiver using bottlerocket from command line but I cant get it to trigger an event I have the X10 and Device Serial perl modules installed, my motion sensor is device 1 on home A, camera ...

Since my zm machine does not have alot of horsepower, and because I get alot of false alarms from clouds and other shadows I decided to get some X10 gear so I could trigger events with a motion sensor and not have to analyze every frame. There is not alot of information about X10 and ZM, just a few ...

Until the next version you can fix this by editing zm_funcs.php and change the http:// to https://

thats a physical security issue, this takes being clever I have my servers locked in a closet, ive lined the inside of the closet with 3/4 inch plywood, re-enforced the door and put only a dead bolt on the front.. Ive got a 1 inch gap at the bottom of the door and a small vent at the celing with an ...

My camera has poor visibility after it gets dark and I have to manually adjust the brightness settings every day.. so I made a script to do it and here it is.. chbrightness.sh #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" = "day" ];then mysql -u YOURUSER --password=YOURPASS zm < /path/to/day.contrast.sql killall -9 zmc elif ...

I talked to the author of the v3l kernel module (Voodoo3 TV) and we concluded that the driver is currently not robust enough to work with ZoneMinder..

So for anyone in the future, unless some people assist with the module development this card most likely wont ever work with ZM.

ok, so I opened it up in xawtv then got the proper demetions and it got rid of failed to set window attributes error here are the new log files..
