Problems with X10 Activation and Alarm strings

[dalvis]

I'm having a problem with X10 and ZM. I have been unable to make the X10 Activation and Alarm Input fields work. I have a CM11 connected to the serial port on the server, and I have tested it and it is correctly sending and receiving signals. zmx10.pl is picking up the signals and I traced the events through and they were making all the way up to where it called the zmTriggerEventOn function or the zmMonitorEnable function. However, at that point nothing happens. I've watched the logs and after noting the X10 event, nothing. I've run the zmx10.pl file manually and can't find anything wrong with it, all the dependencies are met and working. However, the output string is working.

I currently have 2 cameras, one is off-line right now. The other is a USB web cam connected to the server. It works fine with modetect, and is connected to /dev/video0. The X10 trigger box is checked, I've tried it with the enabled box checked and unchecked. I've tried a number of configuration combinations, I even tried upgrading to 1.23.0 to see if that would fix it. I even tried enabling debug logs, but it didn't seem to generate any messages there. Also enabled debugging in the zmx10.pl file, and aside from confirming what I already knew, that it was working properly until it tries to tell ZM to do something.

I've read every post in this forum that I could find, but nothing seems to cover my problem exactly.

This is what I get from the X10 log.

There seems to be a problem with activation/deactivation that others are having. See the link:
