Madmax, I just set you a copy off-list. I hope that I've resolved the issues w/ access to zmxap. I apologize the delays in resolving and getting back to you. If problems recur, please do let me know.

Thanks James!

For those interested in out-of-the-box uses of zmxap, a new screensaver app from mi4 will display live video and play a (user definable) sound in a windows screensaver on new zm alarms. As the screensaver app is actually a server, it can feed multiple screensaver clients. Nice if your windows monitor ever sleeps while your camera doesn't; especially, if you don't dedicate a monitor/display to zm use.

Unable to communicate via xAP to ZM

Post by pcalleros »

gliming,
Updated to most current version of ZM-
Seeing xAP broadcasts but cannot create an event on ZM.
Any suggestions?

Trying to send the following to ZM(Mandriva 2006-zm-1.22.2 via RPM)
via xAP:

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF000E00
class=VMI.AlarmCmd
source=mcs.Xap.ICS-X10
target=zm.zoneminder.house:driveway
}
Alarm
{
reason=homeseer trigger
action=start
}

Checking logs and seeing the following: (not sure if related though)

pcalleros,

Code: Select all

Seeing xAP broadcasts but cannot create an event on ZM. 
Any suggestions? 
Do you have a xAP hub running on your zm server? If not, do you have nohub=1 in the zmxap.conf file?
zmdc[4213]: ERR ['zmtrigger.pl ' exited abnormally, exit status 13]
If you're wondering whether these are related to zmxap operation--they don't reflect zmxap actions/problems. I just ignore them.

xAP & HS

Post by pcalleros »

gliming,

Thank you - that was it for sending xAP to ZM from HS.

I believe the other error had to do with one of my IP cams not being on line.

Great ZM addition!
