Heyu Discussions</a>
GitHub service has been set up as a potential successor
of the heyu_users forum we are missing after Yahoo closed it.
Anonymous read-only acccess is available to everyone.
Would you like to post user support requests or other messages,
please consider opening an account on GitHub.
Don't count on prompt response though,
it may take time for the former heyu_users group members
to learn about the new service, join and start watching your posts.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Introduction</h3>
<p><b>HEYU</b>
is a text-based console program for remotely controlling lights and appliances
in the home or office. The complete source is made available under the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU GPLv3</a> license.
</p>
<p>Heyu uses the <b>CM11A</b> computer interface to send and receive X10 control signals over the
AC power lines to modules which can turn On, Off, or Dim attached lamps
or appliances. It can store a schedule of timed events in the CM11A memory for execution
when the computer is turned off or disconnected.</p>
<p>
Heyu supports an optional <b>W800RF32A</b>, <b>MR26A</b>, or <b>RFXCOM</b> RF receiver connected to a
second port as an auxiliary input device for RF signals from X10 and other supported transmitters.</p>
<p>
Heyu can also use an optional <b>CM17A</b> interface to transmit X10 RF signals.
</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Features</h3>
<p>Highly configurable and able to transmit and receive any X10 signal
supported by the CM11A.
</p>
<p>Monitor and/or log all X10 signals on the power line.
</p>
<p>Maintain a record of the state (On, Off, Dim level) of modules
based on received or transmitted X10 signals. A variety
of different lamp and appliance module types are supported as well
as specialty modules like RCS-compatible thermostats and remote
thermometers, and shutter motor controllers.</p>
<p>
Decoders are included for RF signals received by a W800RF32A or
RFXCOM receiver from security remotes and sensors and from RFXSensor
Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure sensors, and with a RFXCOM
433.92 MHz receiver for RF signals from RFXMeter Power, Water, Gas, and Pulse
sensors, Digimax thermostat, KaKu remotes, and Oregon Scientific, Electrisave, and
Owl CM119 sensors.
</p>
<p>Execute scripts or commands based on received or transmitted X10
powerline or RF signals and the recorded states of modules.
</p>
<p>Upload schedules of timed events and macros to the CM11A memory
for operation without a computer.
</p>
<ul style="margin-left: 20px;">
<li>
<p>Events may be scheduled for execution at local clock times
or relative to the times of daily Dawn or Dusk.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Schedules may be uploaded for the calendar year, or
alternatively for a period beginning on the current date and
extending a year into the future.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Event dates and times are automatically adjusted for Leap Years
and periods of Standard and Daylight Time.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Control multiple CM11A interfaces connected to different serial ports
on the same computer.
</p>
<p>With an optional CM17A device, transmit X10 RF signals to a transceiver
for conversion to power line signals (possibly on a separate branch of the
AC line), or to an X10 RF receiver connected to a different computer.
Any of the 64K different RF signals supported by the CM17A may be transmitted.
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;"><b>Operating Systems</b>
</div>
<p>Heyu is developed and maintained under Linux. Compile options for
Mac OS X (Darwin), FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, SunOS/Solaris, SCO Unix, AIX, NextStep,
and OSF have been implemented with the aid of the Heyu User Community.
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;"><b>Hardware</b>
</div>
<p>The <b>CM11A</b> is manufactured by <a href="http://www.x10.com">X-10 (USA) Inc</a>
and sold as such and as part of their CK11A ActiveHome kit. It is also sold rebranded
as the IBM <b>HD11</b> Home Director and the RCA <b>HC60CRX</b> Home Control Interface.
It plugs into an AC socket and connects to the computer via an RS232 serial port.
(A USB-Serial adapter can be used for computers which don't have an RS232
port.) It has a clock with battery backup and a 1 KB non-volatile
memory for stored timers and macros. Compatible 230 Volt devices are
sold outside North America as various CM11x models; in the UK as the <b>CM12U</b>.
</p>
<p>Heyu also supports the <b>CM10A</b> (IBM <b>HD16</b>), an older device similar
to the CM11A but without clock or battery backup, and marketed as an early version
of the IBM Home Director.
</p>
<p>The <b>W800RF32A</b> RF receiver is manufactured by
<a href="http://www.wgldesigns.com">WGL & Associates</a>. This
device can receive X10 RF signals from standard, entertainment, and
security remotes and sensors. In addition to the US/Canada version,
an international version, the <b>W800RF32AE</b>, is available which operates
at the X10 RF frequency used in Europe and elsewhere.</p>
<p>The <b>RFXCOM</b> X10 RF receiver from <a href="http://www.rfxcom.com">RFXCOM</a> is
a USB device but incorporates an FTDI USB-Serial chipset and maps to a serial port.
It can receive X10 RF signals from standard, entertainment, and security remotes
and sensors, and is available in both 310 MHz US/Canada and 433.92 MHz International frequency
versions. The International version can also receive signals from
RFXMeter sensors, Digimax thermostats, and Oregon sensors.</p>
<p>The X-10 <b>MR26A</b> receiver can receive X10 RF signals from standard and some
entertainment remotes, but not security remotes or sensors.</p>
<p>For users in North America, Heyu optionally integrates support for
the X-10 <b>CM17A</b> "Firecracker", a small serial dongle which transmits X10 RF
signals. (The CM11A and CM17A coexist on the same serial
port - no additional port is required.)
</p>
<p>Heyu does NOT support the X-10 CP290 interface, the Smarthome
PowerLinc 1132B interface, or any USB-only interface like the X-10 CM15A
"ActiveHome Pro".
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;"><b>Support</b>
</div>
<p>Support for Heyu is no longer provided via the heyu_users forum
at Yahoo groups.
Heyu developers respond to bug reports (and feature requests to some extent)
posted on
<a href="https://github.com/HeyuX10Automation/heyu/issues">
Heyu Issues</a> at GitHub.
<a href="https://github.com/HeyuX10Automation/heyu/discussions">
Heyu Discussions</a> at GitHub
is a potential successor of the heyu_users forum.
If acceppted by the Heyu User Community,
members of the Community may start receiving and responding to
Heyu as well as X10 and Home Automation questions and problem reports
as before.
New releases of Heyu will be announced there.
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;"><b>Development</b>
</div>
<p>Current activities can be followed on the
<a href="https://github.com/HeyuX10Automation/heyu">
Heyu project page</a> at GitHub.
Some old development related information can still be found on
<a href="http://www.assembla.com/spaces/heyu">
Heyu development space</a> at Assembla site.
