X10SCRIPTS(5) File Formats Manual X10SCRIPTS(5) NAME x10scripts - Scripting for HEYU, an X-10 CM11A serial interface control program DESCRIPTION Heyu is a program for controlling an X-10 "CM11A" home control device. See the heyu(1) man page for usage information. This page contains information regarding the capabilities of Heyu ver- sion 2 for launching scripts upon reception of specified X10 signals or special conditions. The word 'script' as used here encompasses not only shell scripts but also executable binaries and shell commands, in fact, any valid command line. (The auxilliary program Xtend by David Shaw which was required by ear- lier versions of Heyu for this functionality is no longer needed or used.) In order to launch scripts the Heyu state engine daemon must be run- ning. It is started manually by executing 'heyu engine', or can be configured to start automatically with the 'heyu start' command by in- cluding the directive "START_ENGINE AUTO" in the configuration file. If the Heyu configuration file is changed, the daemon must be restarted by executing 'heyu restart' - the existing daemon will re-read the con- figuration file and incorporate the changes. Scripts to be launched are each defined in the Heyu configuration file with a SCRIPT directive. This directive (more fully explained below) defines the launch conditions under which a command line will be exe- cuted and the command line itself. For each event, i.e., X10 signal or special condition, encountered by Heyu the list of SCRIPT launch condi- tions are tested in the order the SCRIPT directives appear in the con- figuration file. The command line is executed for the first set of corresponding launch conditions which are satisfied. Any given event can normally launch no more than a single SCRIPT command line, but see section "SCAN MODE" below to override this restriction. There are eight types of scripts which can be launched by Heyu: Normal scripts are launched by an X10 function signal, e.g., 'on', 'off', etc., which can be either sent or received. Address scripts are similar to normal scripts but require only an X10 address signal. Powerfail scripts are launched when the restoration of AC power follow- ing an interruption is reported to the computer by the CM11A. RFFlood scripts are launched when an unbroken stream of RF signals are received by the auxiliary input daemon heyu_aux. RFJamming scripts are launched by an RF Jamming signal reported by older firmware versions of RFXCOM receivers. Timeout scripts are launched at expiration of a countdown time speci- fied by the user with a 'heyu settimer n hh:mm:ss' command or by a script with the '@settimer n hh:mm:ss' precommand. Exec scripts are launched only from the command line with the 'heyu launch <scriptname>' command, not by any signal or hardware condition. Sensorfail scripts are launched when a sensor with a heartbeat (i.e., which periodically reports its current state), fails to report in the specified time, however they are now deprecated. As of heyu-2.9, when an inactive sensor is detected Heyu generates the pseudo-signal "Inactive" which appears to have been transmitted by the sensor. The function "inactive" can be used in the launch conditions for a Normal script the same as any other function, however one differ- ence is that the "changed" launched condition refers only to the tran- sition from Active to Inactive rather than a change in the data value as for real signals. The directive "HIDE_UNCHANGED_INACTIVE YES|NO" (default NO) determines whether the unchanged pseudo-signal is dis- played in the monitor and logfile. Sensorfail scripts are ignored under this new system. The config di- rective "INACTIVE_HANDLING OLD" can be used to revert to the previous system. The Heyu state engine daemon (heyu_engine) interprets X10 signals, both those received over the AC power line via the CM11A interface, those sent to the interface from the Heyu command line, and those RF signals transceived or forwarded from the heyu_aux daemon. It keeps a record of the effect of these signals upon each X10 module identified in an ALIAS directive in the configuration file (or the default module). See the x10config(5) man page for details about this. Heyu classifies each X10 signal by its source, which will be one of the following: sndc - Sent from the Heyu command line. snds - Sent by Heyu executed from a normal or address script. (*) sndp - Sent by Heyu executed from a power-fail script. (*) sndm - Sent by an uploaded macro when initiated by a Timer. sndt - Sent by an uploaded macro when initiated by a Trigger. snda - RF transceived to power line code by the heyu_aux daemon. rcva - RF signals forwarded from the heyu_aux daemon. rcvi - Received over the AC power line. rcvt - A Trigger signal which initiated an uploaded macro. (*) When that script is launched by the Heyu state engine daemon. The launch conditions for a script requires that the source or sources to be allowed to launch the script be specified if other than the de- fault 'rcvi'. Using the source keyword 'anysrc' is equivalent to spec- ifying all the above mentioned sources except 'snds'. If you are new to using Heyu scripts, including 'anysrc' in the launch conditions for your scripts is probably a good idea until you gain more experience. Note that a CM11A does NOT report the individual addresses and func- tions when a macro is executed, only the fact that a macro at EEPROM address XXX has been executed. Heyu determines the individual ad- dresses and functions from a copy of the EEPROM memory image it stores in file 'x10image' when a schedule is uploaded to the CM11A. Neither does the CM11A report the actual X10 signal which triggers a macro, at least not reliably. Again, Heyu determines this from the stored memory image file. (The CM11A firmware allows Heyu to distin- guish up to six different triggers for the _same_ macro.) Each X10 standard module in the system can be in the major states On, Dimmed, and Off. They are not mutually exclusive - a module that is in the Dimmed state is also considered to be in the On state. There are additional major states for X10 security sensors and remotes, e.g., Alert, Clear, Active, Inactive. In addition, there are minor states: Addressed, Changed, and Mod- uleChanged. A module is considered to be in the ModuleChanged state when the last X10 signal matching its housecode and unit caused a change in its major state. A module is considered to be in the Changed state when: It's in the ModuleChanged state -OR- If the X10 signal matching its housecode and unit is the first valid signal encountered since start or restart -OR- For sensors with a heartbeat, if the sensor first becomes Inactive or returns to Active status. (A signal is considered "valid" if it is supported by the module type in question.) Addressing is a feature built into module firmware and emulated in the Heyu state engine. A standard X10 module becomes Addressed when it receives an X10 address code matching its own housecode|unit address. It becomes unaddressed when it receives an X10 address code not matching its own address after having received _any_ X10 function code on the same housecode -or- when it receives the 'alloff' (all_units_off) function on that housecode. The X-10 company has not been consistant with their designs and some, but not all, dimmer modules which support the 'lightsoff' (all_lights_off) command will become unaddressed after receiving that command, and some dimmer modules will become unaddressed after receiv- ing the 'lightson' (all_lights_on) command. Similarly there are some modules, usually X10 camera power supplies, which are not unaddressed by the 'alloff' command. SwitchLinc and other modules which support the 'preset' function auto- matically unaddress themselves insofar as a subsequent 'preset' func- tion is concerned immediately after receiving any X10 function code. The state tables maintained by the Heyu state engine daemon include common flags which can be set or cleared by Heyu commands. The state of one or more flags, "flagNN" or "notflagNN", can be included as part of the conditions determining whether a script is to be executed. Heyu counters set a "counter-zero" ("czflagNN") flag when the corresponding counter NN value is zero. Heyu user-configurable countdown timers set a "timer-zero" ("tzflagNN") flag when the corresponding timer NN is zero. Heyu's security commands set flags, e.g., 'armed', 'disarmed', etc., which can also be tested as part of the launch conditions. If the LON- GITUDE and LATITUDE directives are included in the user's configuration file, the flags 'night' and 'dark' and their negations 'notnight' and 'notdark' can also be tested in the launch conditions. The user can choose to run in a mode compatible with the heyuhelper feature of Heyu 1.xx, a mode compatible with (most) Xtend scripts, or with the full features of Heyu scripting. For heyuhelper, put the di- rective SCRIPT_MODE HEYUHELPER in your configuration file, otherwise specify (or take the default) SCRIPT_MODE SCRIPTS. When SCRIPT_MODE HEYUHELPER is specified, all the other script-oriented directives described below except SCRIPT_SHELL and SCRIPT_CTRL are ig- nored. If an executable script named 'heyuhelper' exists on the user's path, it is launched every time Heyu receives an X10 function over the AC power line via the CM11A interface. One difference from Heyu 1.xx however is that the heyuhelper script is NOT launched when an uploaded macro is executed. QUICK SCRIPTS For those anxious to get started without having to understand all of Heyu's extended scripting features, just take the default for SCRIPT_MODE, add one or more simple SCRIPT directives like the follow- ing to your configuration file, and run 'heyu engine' to start the Heyu state engine (or 'heyu restart' if it's already running). The simple SCRIPT format for (normal) scripts is: SCRIPT <Housecode|unit> <function> anysrc :: <command line> The Housecode|Unit, function, and keyword "anysrc" taken together de- scribe for Heyu the launch condition, i.e., the condition under which the command line is to be executed. The Housecode|Unit can be an ALIAS defined in the configuration file. The keyword "anysrc" allows Heyu to satisfy the launch condition re- gardless of the source of the X10 signal, e.g., whether received over the power line or sent from the command line. Later you may wish to restrict the source(s) of the signal to specific ones from the list of sources above. Examples: SCRIPT porch_light on anysrc :: echo "Porch light has been turned on" | mail The above sends an email to you whenever the X10 'on' signal for the housecode|unit aliased to 'porch_light' is received over the power line or sent from the command line. SCRIPT C1 off anysrc :: play ssb.wav; heyu turn tv_set off When remote X10 signal 'C1 off' is received, play the Star Spangled Banner .wav file, then turn off the TV set. Users outside the USA can substitute a .wav file for "O Canada", "God Save the Queen", or what- ever TV station signoff music is usual in their country. :-) Note: The '::' (two colons) is a mandatory separator between the launch condition (e.g. 'C1 off') and the command line. Unless redirected elsewhere, any text output from a launched script will be written to the log file. Address scripts are similar to normal scripts but the keyword 'address' is substituted in place of any and all function names. Example: SCRIPT A1 address anysrc :: mysound.sh volumeup SCRIPT A2 address anysrc :: mysound.sh volumedown For powerfail scripts the simple SCRIPT format is: SCRIPT -powerfail :: <command line> Example: SCRIPT -powerfail :: heyu on night_lights ADVANCED SCRIPTS Define for Heyu a script to be launched and the conditions for launch- ing it with a SCRIPT directive in your configuration file. Any number of SCRIPT directives may appear in the configuration file. The format is: SCRIPT [-l label] <launch conditions> :: [options] <command line> <launch conditions> tell Heyu under what conditions the script is to be launched. See the section LAUNCH CONDITIONS below for full details. <launch conditions> may alternatively (or additionally) be specified with a LAUNCHER directive in the configuration file. Launch conditions are tested in the order they appear in the configura- tion file. The command line will be executed for the first (and only the first) set of launch conditions which are satisfied, i.e., only one command line can be executed per X10 signal or special condition. The script label is optional so long as all the launch conditions are specified in the SCRIPT directive. If omitted, Heyu will create a la- bel for display purposes of the form 'Script_NN', where NN is the line number of the SCRIPT directive in the configuration file. If script labels are provided, they must be unique for each SCRIPT directive. A script label is mandatory when any launch conditions are separately specified with a LAUNCHER directive - Heyu needs it to match up the launcher with its corresponding script. But most users probably won't bother with the LAUNCHER directives. The symbol '::' (two colons) is mandatory, to tell Heyu when the list of launch conditions ends and the command line begins. When a script is launched, Heyu provides additional environment vari- ables containing information from Heyu's record of the state of each module, plus a few other variables to simplify writing the script. The script options allow some variation in the type and format of these en- vironment variables. Script options are: -xtend (or simply -x) - Provide an environment compatible with Xtend scripts. -rawlevel (or simply -r) - Include native dimlevel of modules instead of percentage of full On level in the Heyu environment, i.e., for stan- dard modules 0-210; for preset modules 1-32; for extended code modules 0-62; for VDATA modules 0-255. This option is incompatible with the -xtend option. -noenv (or simply -n) - Provide no environment variables beyond those which already exist in the user's environment. -quiet (or simply -q) - Heyu will normally display the script label along with the full command line in the log file when a script is launched. This option directs Heyu to display only the script label - useful if you have a very long command line and don't want to clutter your log file. -qquiet (or simply -qq) - This option directs Heyu suppress display of even the script label in the log file when a script is launched. It may be useful when you have a bunch of interrelated SCRIPT directives and having the launching of all of them displayed in the log file is more confusing than instructive. However please use this only after you have confirmed that your scripts are working correctly and reli- ably. Script options must be placed between the '::' separator and the start of the command line. Example: SCRIPT D1 off :: -x myxtend.sh See the section SCRIPT ENVIRONMENT below for a description of these en- vironment variables. LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR NORMAL SCRIPTS The launch conditions tell Heyu under what conditions a script is to be launched. Each time an X10 function is sent or received (or a power- fail signal is received - more about this in the next section), Heyu will test to see which (if any) of the conditions are satisfied. The testing is performed in the order in which the conditions are specified in the configuration file, and stops once the conditions are matched and a script is launched. For normal scripts, each set of launch conditions specifies the af- fected housecode|units, the function or functions, optional function mode keywords, the allowed source(s) of the functions, and optional flag conditions. HU functions [keywords] [sources] [flags] The housecode|units string 'HU' must always come first and must always include a units list even when a function like 'alloff' (all units off) is specified. Using an asterisk ('*') in place of a units list, 'H*', will launch on any unit 1-16 but in the context of a launch condition will launch even when no units are addressed, so can be used when it is desired to specify a launch when one of the specified functions is re- ceived for that housecode regardless of unit addresses. An alias may be used in place of a housecode|units string. Functions, keywords, and sources may appear in any order after that. Whether included within the SCRIPT directive or separately in LAUNCHER directives, multiple launch conditions for the same script may be con- tinued on the same line by separating each group of conditions with a semicolon (';''), i.e., HU functions [keywords] [sources] [flags]; HU functions [keywords] [sources] [flags]; ... Functions which can be specified in a launch condition are any of the native X10 functions: on, off, dim, bright, lightson, lightsoff, alloff, preset, extended, hail, hail_ack, status, status_on, sta- tus_off, data_xfer. Also functions allon, xpowerup, and vdata. The general functions 'anyplc' or 'anyfunc' in a launch condition will match any of the above. RF signals received from X10 security remotes and sensors via the heyu_aux daemon provide the additional functions disarm, arm, alert, clear, panic, slightson, slightsoff, sdusk, and sdawn. The general functions 'anysec' or 'anyfunc' will match any of these. RF signals from RFXSensor 1-Wire temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure sensors which can be used in launch conditions are rfxtemp, rfxtemp2, rfxrh, rfxbp, rfxlobat, rfxvad, rfxpot, and rfxvs. The gen- eral functions 'anyrfx' or 'anyfunc' will match any of these. For more details see man page x10rfxsensors(5). RF signals from RFXMeter power, water, gas, and pulse meters and coun- ters which can be used in launch conditions are: rfxpower, rfxwater, rfxgas, rfxpulse, and rfxcount. The general functions 'anyrfx' or 'anyfunc' will match any of these. For more details see man page x10rfxmeters(5). RF signals from Oregon sensors which can be used in launch conditions are: oretemp, orerh, orebp, and orewgt. For more details see man page x10oregon(5). RF signals from DigiMax 210 Thermostats which can be used in launch conditions are: dmxtemp, dmxon, dmxoff, and dmxsetpoint. For more information see man page x10digimax(5). The 'allon' function is Heyu-defined and in reality is just the 'on' signal when sent to all 16 unit codes on a housecode. (Note: 'allon' as used in Heyu 1.xx is the same as 'lightson', which is not the case here.) The 'xpowerup' function is sent by X-10 2-way modules like the LM14A and AM14A at power-up following an AC power interruption of at least a few seconds duration. Heyu also defines three 'generic' functions: gon, goff, and gdim. The generic 'gon' encompasses any of: on, lightson, allon, preset level 32, or extended preset level 62 or 63. The generic 'goff' encompasses any of: off, lightsoff, alloff, preset level 1, or extended preset level 0. The generic 'gdim' encompasses any of: dim, bright, or any preset or extended preset levels between the limits specified for 'gon' and 'goff'. One or more functions can be specified in each launch condition. The logic used when the HU contains more than one unit and/or there is more than one function is illustrated in the following example: SCRIPT A1,3 on off flag4 notflag7 :: myscript.sh is equivalent to: IF (A1 is addressed OR A3 is addressed) AND (function On is received OR function Off is received) AND flag4 is set AND flag7 is not set THEN Execute myscript.sh KEYWORD 'trigemu' If a macro is uploaded to the CM11A EEPROM memory and a powerline trig- ger (e.g., "A1 on") is defined for it, the macro will only be triggered when the powerline address signal immediately precedes the powerline On function, with no intervening address or function signals. Inclusion of the 'trigemu' keyword in the launch conditions emulates this behavior. Example: If the sequence "Addr A1, Addr A2, Addr A3, Func On A" is re- ceived in that order, a script will be launched with the launch condi- tion: A2 on but not with the launch condition: A2 on trigemu because the Addr A3 signal intervened between the Addr A2 and the Func On A signals. Note: the 'trigemu' keyword is ignored for lightson, lightsoff, alloff, and extended functions in the launch conditions. KEYWORD 'module' In the default 'signal' mode, whether or not a script is launched de- pends only on reception of the function at the housecode|unit as speci- fied in the launch condition and is independant of the module at that address. Inserting the keyword 'module' in the launch conditions results in X10 signals being 'filtered' by the attributes of the modules before the launch conditions are tested. For example, a script otherwise pro- grammed to be launched when the 'dim' signal is received would not be launched if the module at the particular housecode|unit happened to be an appliance module (as defined in the ALIAS directive). KEYWORD 'changed'. Inserting the keyword 'changed' in the launch conditions inhibits launching a script unless the function causes a change in the major state of the module, i.e., if it's in the Changed state. For example, the launch condition 'A1 off changed' will not launch the script if the module at A1 is already in the Off state when the 'off' function is re- ceived. In the case of RF signals received from the auxiliary input daemon heyu_aux (source RCVA), any difference in the data from the previous transmission at the same housecode|unit address is considered a change. (The difference in the data for it to be considered changed may be con- figured for Oregon sensors.) The keyword 'changed' automatically implies the filtering otherwise performed when the keyword 'module' is specified and doesn't require separately specifying it. KEYWORD 'continue'. KEYWORD 'break'. See section "SCAN MODE" below for the usage of these keywords. SOURCES By default, a script is launched only when the X10 function is received over the AC power line (rcvi) by the CM11A interface. This can be ex- tended to other sources by including one or more source keywords in the launch conditions. For example, 'A1 on sndc' would launch the script if the function is either received over the power line (per the default rcvi) or sent from the Heyu command line. The source keyword 'anysrc' can be used to represent the sources sndc, sndm, sndt, sndp, snda, rcvi, rcvt, rcva. It excludes the source 'snds'. The source 'snds' can be separately specified if you really have to use it, but ONLY when you have verified that its use won't result in a script loop. A script loop WOULD result in the following simple (and obvious) case: SCRIPT A1 on rcvi snds :: heyu turn A1 on however the possibility of a script loop may not be quite so obvious when you have multiple and/or more complex SCRIPT directives. Note that the default source or sources can be changed with the LAUNCHER_SOURCE directive in the configuration file. One can disallow default sources by prefixing the source with 'no', e.g., 'norcvi', 'nosndm'. The keyword 'nosrc' has a special use - it has the function of cancelling out all of the default sources. It must always be accompanied by one or more actual source keywords if a script is to be launched. Warning: Functions with sources 'sndm' or 'sndt' are processed by Heyu at the time it receives the signal from the CM11A that a macro has been executed, which may be some time - seconds or even minutes depending on the length of the macro - before the functions are actually transmitted by the CM11A. Thus the state of the modules as recorded by Heyu will be incorrect before the functions are actually transmitted. In addi- tion, the CM11A will not accept further commands while it's in the process of transmitting the macro commands, so an attempt to send an- other command may time out. To avoid these problems, the 'heyu wait' command can be used to defer execution of a launched script until all macro commands have been transmitted. Example: SCRIPT A1 on sndm :: heyu wait; (($X10_B2 & $isOn)) && heyu on C3 FLAGS Flags which may be tested as part of the launch conditions are: state flags which reflect the corresponding state of a module (see heading STATE FLAGS below); common software flags flag1...flagNN set or cleared by Heyu state commands; the counter-zero flags czflag1...czflagNN; the timer-zero flags tzflag1...tzflagNN; the global security flags dis- armed, armed, notarmed, armpending, home, and away; the flags night, dark, and their negations notnight and notdark; plus the "local flag" security switch or low battery condition swhome, swaway, swmin, swmax, and lobat transmitted by security remotes and sensors. (When used by themselves, home or away imply armed.) RFXMeter sensors set a testable 'rollover' local flag at the first signal after the counter rolls over from its maximum value (0xFFFFFF) to zero. A local 'rollover' flag is also set for other sensors which store and transmit cumulative data, e.g., Oregon rain sensors. The common flag "true-if-set" keywords are flag1, flag2, ... , flagNN. The flag "true-if-clear" ("true-if-reset") terms are notflag1, not- flag2, ... , notflagNN. Similar "true-if-clear" keywords are recognized for counter-zero and timer-zero flags, e.g., notczflag1, nottzflag10; Inclusion of one or more of the flag keywords in the launch condition means that each and every flag state must be TRUE in order for the script to be executed. In other words, the flag state is AND'd with all the other launch conditions. Examples: SCRIPT B1 on rcvi flag4 flag6 notflag8 :: my_command In the above, my_command will be executed when the B1 On signal is re- ceived only if flags 4 and 6 are set and flag 8 is not set (clear). SCRIPT back_door alert armed rcva :: heyu on siren In the above, the module controlling a siren is turned on when the back door is opened and the door/window security sensor on that door trans- mits the alert signal while the system is armed. SCRIPT motion_sensor on night :: heyu on porch_light The above will turn on the porch_light only if the On signal from the motion_sensor is received between Dusk and Dawn. SCRIPT motion_sendsor on dark :: heyu on porch_light The above is similar to the previous one, but the condition is that the motion_sensor signal is received between Dusk+Offset and Dawn-Offset, where Offset is defined by the config directive ISDARK_OFFSET. STATE FLAGS State flags are global and can be used in the launch conditions for any script. They are TRUE when the corresponding state or flag state of a Hu address is TRUE. Their use can simplify Heyu SCRIPT directives by making it unnecessary to use shell logic to check the state of a mod- ule. Up to 32 state flags may be used in a launch condition and each must be TRUE for the script to be launched. The format for a state flag consists of the state and Hu address sepa- rated by a colon (':') with no embedded spaces, e.g., "on:B7" or "on:Porch_Light". Like other flags, state flags are not case sensitive _except_ for an alias label (like "Porch_Light") if used, since alias labels are always case sensitive. If an alias label is used, it must be for a single unit alias. The list of states which can be included in a state flag follows, but run 'heyu stateflaglist' to make sure you have the current list. In the following, Hu is the Housecode|single_unit address or Alias label. Prefixing a flag with "not" is the negation for all state flags. on:Hu Hu is in the On state off:Hu Same as noton:Hu dim:Hu Hu is in the Dimmmed state alert:Hu An Alert signal has put Hu into the alert state. clear:Hu A Clear signal has put Hu into the clear state. auxalert:Hu An AuxAlert signal has put Hu into the auxalert state. auxclear:Hu An AuxClear signal has put Hu into the auxclear state. sdusk:Hu An sDusk signal has put Hu into the sdusk state. (GB10, DM10) sdawn:Hu An sDawn signal has put Hu into the sdawn state. (DM10) valid:Hu A supported signal has been received since start. active:Hu A valid signal has been received before INACTIVE_TIME- OUT. inactive:Hu No valid signal has been received before INACTIVE_TIME- OUT. addr:Hu The X10 module at Hu is in the addressed state. tamper:Hu The tamper flag has been raised for sensor Hu. chg:Hu The last signal on H resulted in a change of state for Hu. lobat:Hu The low battery flag has been raised for sensor Hu. rollover:Hu The rollover flag is raised for sensor Hu. swmin:Hu The swMin flag has been raised for sensor Hu. swmax:Hu The swMax flag has been raised for sensor Hu. tmin:Hu The Tmin flag has been raised for sensor Hu. tmax:Hu The Tmax flag has been raised for sensor Hu. rhmin:Hu The RHmin flag has been raised for sensor Hu. rhmax:Hu The RHmax flag has been raised for sensor Hu. bpmin:Hu The BPmin flag has been raised for sensor Hu. bpmax:Hu The BPmax flag has been raised for sensor Hu. main:Hu The Main flag has been raised for sensor Hu. aux:Hu The Aux flag has been raised for sensor Hu. heat:Hu The DigiMax Heat flag has been raised. set:Hu The DigiMax Setpoint Temperature Set flag has been raised. init:Hu The DigiMax Initialazation Init flag has been raised. Please note that for sensor signals in particular, the flag negation does not necessarily imply an opposite state, e.g., until a valid sig- nal is received, both alert:Hu and clear:Hu may be FALSE, so that no- talert:Hu does not imply clear:Hu. Similarly, after a start and until the first valid signal is received or until an initial INACTIVE_TIMEOUT interval, both active:Hu and inac- tive:Hu will be FALSE. SCAN MODE When a signal is received by the heyu_engine daemon, Heyu by default scans the list of SCRIPT launch conditions and executes the command line for the first one where its launch conditions are satisfied. As there are occasions when it would be convenient to have more than one SCRIPT command line be executed upon receipt of a signal, this default behavior can be modified with a combination of the configuration direc- tive LAUNCHER_SCANMODE and launch condition keywords 'continue' and 'break'. The config directive LAUNCHER_SCANMODE can take the parameters BREAK or CONTINUE, with the default being BREAK. The parameter BREAK provides the default behavior described above. With parameter CONTINUE, Heyu will execute the command line for all SCRIPTs where the launch condi- tions are satisfied. The scan mode specified by LAUNCHER_SCANMODE can be overridden for in- dividual SCRIPTs by including the keyword 'continue' or 'break' in the launch conditions. Following are some simple (trivial) examples. Example: LAUNCHER_SCANMODE BREAK SCRIPT -l DimLights A1 on rcvi continue :: heyu turn B1,2,3 dimb 10 SCRIPT -l TurnOnTV A1 on rcvi :: heyu turn tv_set on SCRIPT -l TurnOffTV A1 on rcvi :: heyu turn tv_set off In the above example, receipt of signal "A1 On" results in the command lines for both DimLights and TurnOnTV being executed. TurnOffTV is not executed because the scan mode reverts to BREAK when TurnOnTV is exe- cuted. Example: LAUNCHER_SCANMODE CONTINUE SCRIPT -l DimLights A1 on rcvi :: heyu turn B1,2,3 dimb 10 SCRIPT -l TurnOnTV A1 on rcvi break :: heyu turn tv_set on SCRIPT -l TurnOffTV A1 on rcvi :: heyu turn tv_set off The above works the same as the first example - the 'break' keyword in TurnOnTV tells Heyu to stop scanning once its launch conditions are satisfied. Tip: In most cases users will find it more convenient and less confus- ing to keep the default "LAUNCHER_SCANMODE BREAK" and use the 'con- tinue' keyword where required. It's ESSENTIAL to understand what happens in Heyu when using the con- tinue and break features. When a signal is received by heyu_engine, Heyu starts scanning the list of launch conditions and tags those where the conditions are satisfied. It stops scanning when a launch condition is satisfied and the scan mode is BREAK. Heyu then goes back and executes in order the command lines for all SCRIPTs which were tagged in the first pass. Several things to keep in mind: When more than one script is executed, the launch condition for subse- quent scripts may no longer be true if conditions are modified by a preceding script, but the script is launched nevertherless. Example: SCRIPT -l ResetFlag A1 on rcvi flag1 continue :: @clrflag 1 SCRIPT -l DoSomething A1 on rcvi flag1 :: something.sh In the example above, both scripts will be executed if Flag 1 is set when signal A1 On is received. But when script DoSomething is exe- cuted, condition flag1 will no longer be TRUE since the flag will have been cleared by execution of the previous script ResetFlag command line. This may be important if the shell script "something.sh" relies on the value of environment variable $X10_Flag1 or calls 'heyu flagstate 1' to direct its operation. Secondly, when multiple shell commands or shell scripts are executed, the order of actual command execution is determined in part by the op- erating system, with each script getting its multitasking time slices (typically 10 milliseconds). (This does not apply to the internal en- gine precommands like @clrflag which are executed within heyu_engine before shelling out the remainder of the command line.) LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR ADDRESS SCRIPTS Launch conditions are identical to those for normal scripts except the keyword 'address' is used in place of any and all functions. Neither functions nor the keywords 'changed', 'signal' or 'module' may be spec- ified for address scripts. (Likewise, the keyword 'address' may not appear in the launch conditions for normal acripts.) The launch condi- tions may include sources and flags as for normal scripts. Note that the launch conditions for address scripts are evaluated each time an address signal is encountered and those for normal scripts each time a function signal is encountered, so it's possible to have multi- ple script launchings for what might appear to be a single X10 command but which in reality is two separate events. LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR POWERFAIL SCRIPTS For powerfail scripts, the launch conditions always start with the spe- cial keyword '-powerfail' (note the '-' prefix) and may optionally be followed with flag conditions. (Module addresses, functions, and sources are not applicable for powerfail scripts.) -powerfail [flags] As with normal scripts, each of the specified flag conditions must be TRUE for the script to be launched, and the same flag1, flag2, ..., flagNN and notflag1, notflag2, ..., notflagNN keywords are valid. Se- curity flags (disarmed, armed, armpending, home, away) may also be tested, however they may not be valid if the computer has been powered down during the power interruption. In addition there are two special flags, 'boot' and 'notboot' which are valid only for powerfail launchers. The boot flag is set by the Heyu relay daemon at the time it is first started and cleared a few seconds afterwards. If the boot flag is included in the launch condition, then the script will be launched only if the powerfail signal is received immediately following the startup of the Heyu relay daemon, i.e., if the CM11A is polling for a clock update at the time Heyu is first started. Conversely, if the notboot flag is included in the launch condition, the script will be launched only if the powerfail signal is received after the initial refractory period of a few seconds. If neither the boot nor the notboot flag is included, then the script will be launched regardless of the time the powerfail signal is re- ceived. Note: A powerfail script can be launched at startup ONLY if Heyu is started with the 'heyu engine' or 'heyu start' commands, else the state engine daemon won't be running in time to catch the powerfail signal at startup. LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR RFFLOOD SCRIPTS An RFflood signal is issued with the "started" flag when an RF flood is first detected, then again at increasing longer intervals while the flood continues. Another RFflood signal is issued with the "ended" flag when the flood ceases. Either of these two flags can be tested in the launch conditions along with any of the other flags. Example: -rfflood started Housecode|unit addresses, functions, and sources are not applicable for RFFLOOD script launch conditions. LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR RFJAMMING SCRIPTS An RFJamming signal is issued with either the "started" or "ended" flag as reported by an (older) RFXCOM receiver, and with the "main" or "aux" flag depending on whether the signal originated with the master or slave RFXCOM receiver. All of these flags can be tested in the launch conditions along with any of the other flags. Example: -rfjamming started aux Housecode|unit addresses, functions, and sources are not applicable for RFJAMMING script launch conditions. LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR SENSORFAIL SCRIPTS Sensorfail scripts are deprecated and ignored in favor of the Inactive pseudo-signal unless config directive "INACTIVE_HANDLING OLD" is used. If Heyu has not received any signal from a security sensor with a heartbeat, either a normal alert or its periodic "alive" signal, in the interval specified by the INACTIVE_TIMEOUT directive, it can launch a '-sensorfail' script. Any of the global flags may be included in the launch conditions. Example: -sensorfail armed LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR TIMEOUT SCRIPTS Heyu can launch a script when a countdown timer set by the user reaches zero. The particular timer must be specified. Any of the global flags may also be included. Example: -timeout timer2 flag3 LAUNCH CONDITIONS FOR EXEC SCRIPTS Exec script launch conditions may include only global flags, i.e., State flags, e.g., on:B7, dim:A4 flag1 ... flagNN, notflag1 ... notflagNN czflag1 ... czflagNN, notczflag1 ... notczflagNN night, notnight, dark, notdark. disarmed, armed, notarmed, armpending, home, away, tamper. Example: -exec armed away night flag1 If there are no flags in the launch conditions the "::" separator is still required, e.g., -exec :: <command_line> LAUNCHERS Launchers are an alternative way of specifying the launch conditions for a script. They can be useful when you have multiple or very com- plex sets of launch conditions, otherwise most users will probably find it more convenient (and less confusing) to include all the launch con- ditions in the SCRIPT directive. The format for a launcher directive in the configuration file is: LAUNCHER <script_label> HU functions [keywords] [sources] [flags]; HU functions [keywords] [sources] [flags]; ... where the mandatory script_label (no -l switch is used here) must match the label in the SCRIPT directive to which it applies. SCRIPT COMMAND LINE The command line can be any valid command line for the OS and shell, including shell commands and logic, shell scripts, binary executables, and multiple strings of these delimited by semicolons. In addition, there are internal engine precommands which can be used at the beginning of the command line to set flags and countdown timers. These are processed by the engine before the remainder of the line, if any, is actually launched as a child process. Their use guarantees that their functions are carried out in the order the scripts are launched, as opposed to the order in which child processes might actu- ally execute them as direct commands when there are multiple child processes launched in rapid succession. These precommands are: @arm, @disarm, @setflag, @clrflag, @settimer, @setrtimer, @clrtimers, @clrspend, @vdata, @vmdata, @setcount, @inc- count, @deccount, @decskpz, @decskpgz, @decskpgziz, and @null. They take the same parameters and operate the same as the corresponding di- rect commands without the '@' prefix. (The @null does nothing and can be used as a placeholder to serve as an empty command line, which would otherwise generate an error message.) They are not used as parameters to Heyu but as stand-alone commands, and must appear in the command line before any normal command. Examples: SCRIPT A1 off :: @settimer 7 0 SCRIPT A1 on :: @setflag 3; @settimer 7 5; heyu on A2 The @decskpz, @decskpgz, @decskpnziz (decrement/skip) precommands and @null precommand don't have corresponding direct commands. In addition to decrementing the counter, a @decskpxxx also terminates further exe- cution of the command line ("skips") when the decrement and skip condi- tions are met. The '@decskpz N' decrements counter N and skips if the result is zero. The '@decskpgz N' decrements counter N and skips if the result is greater than zero. The '@decskpnziz N' decrements counter N and skips if the result is non-zero or if the counter is initially zero. It emulates the similar command in computer languages where the counter is a variable which can be considered to have negative values. Insofar as Heyu is concerned, it will skip when the result is greater than zero, not skip when the counter is first decremented to zero, but then skip on further _at- tempted_ decrements since a zero Heyu counter cannot be decremented further. In other words its function is to "decrement and skip on non- zero then run only the first time the counter goes to zero". Examples: If counter 7 has previously been set to the value 3 and we have: SCRIPT A1 on :: @decskpz 7; heyu on A2; ... then the remainder of the command line following the @decskpz precom- mand will be executed on the first and second "A1 on" signals but ig- nored for subsequent "A1 on" signals. Conversely, if we start with the same counter setting and have: SCRIPT A1 on :: @decskpnziz 7; heyu on A2; ... then the remainder of the command line will be ignored until the counter reaches zero, when it will be executed. The remainder of the command line will also be ignored if the value of the counter is ini- tially zero since it can't be decremented further. SCRIPT ENVIRONMENT for Heyu scripts When the -xtend option is NOT specified, Heyu provides a number of en- vironment variables which can be used by scripts. Here is a summary - see below for descriptions and examples: X10CONFIG X10_A1 ... X10_P16 x10_<alias> ... (Note lower case prefix 'x10_') whatLevel, isAppl, isSpend, isOff, isOn, isAddr, isChg, isDim, isAlert, isClear, isAuxAlert, isAuxClear, isValid, isActive, isInactive, isS- dusk, isSdawn isLoBat, isRollover, isSwMin, isSwMax, isMain, isAux, isTamper, isTmin, isTmax, isRHmin, isRHmax, isBPmin, isBPmax, isSet, isHeat, isInit. X10_Housecode, X10_Unit, X10_LastUnit, X10_Function, X10_function, X10_Source, X10_UnitAlias, X10_Linmap X10_PresetLevel X10_Xfunc, X10_Xdata X10_BrightVal, X10_DimVal, X10_RawVal X10_Flag1, X10_Flag2, ... , X10_FlagNN X10_Timer1, X10_Timer2, ..., X10_TimerNN X10_Counter1, X10_Counter2, ..., X10_CounterNN X10_Year, X10_Month, X10_MonthName, X10_Day, X10_Hour, X10_Minute, X10_Second, X10_WeekDay, X10_WeekDayName, X10_isDST, X10_DateString, X10_GMT X10_DawnTime, X10_DuskTime, X10_SysTime X10_isNightTime, X10_isDarkTime X10_Vdata, X10_SecLights X10_Disarmed, X10_Armed, X10_ArmPending, X10_Home, X10_Away X10_swMin, X10_swMax, X10_swHome, X10_swAway, X10_LoBat X10_Timer, X10_Sensor helper, bighelper X10_Expire The environment variable X10CONFIG contains the full pathname of the configuration file in effect for the Heyu state engine. Unless over- ridden, instances of Heyu executed by a script will therefore automati- cally use the same configuration file. For each housecode|unit 'Hu', the state variable 'X10_Hu=bitmap' where the bit values in 'bitmap' are defined by mask variables of the form 'isXXX'. (Run 'heyu masklist' to insure having a current list.) 'whatLevel' (Bits 0 through 7 represent the module dim level, or for security devices, the security data byte). 'isAppl' Unit has no Dim/Bright attribute. 'isSpend' Status pending bit. 'isOff' Unit is not in the On state 'isAddr' Unit is Addressed 'isChg' Unit is Changed 'isDim' Unit is Dimmed 'isValid' A supported signal has been sent/received. 'isClear' The sensor is in the Clear state. 'isAlert' The sensor is in the Alert state. 'isAuxClear' the sensor is in the AuxClear state. 'isAuxAlert' The sensor is in the AuxAlert state. 'isSdawn' The security sensor is in the sDawn state. 'isSdusk' The security sensor is in the sDusk state. 'isActive' A signal or heartbeat has been received within the INACTIVE_TIMEOUT interval 'isInactive' No signal or heartbeat has been received within the INACTIVE_TIMEOUT interval. 'isOn' Unit is in the On state. The module dim level will be either the integer 0 through 100 repre- senting the percentage of full brightness, or the native module level (0-210, 1-32, 0-62, or 0-255) if the -rawlevel script option is speci- fied. (The dim level for an appliance module will be either the lowest value if it's Off or the highest value if it's On.) Note that for states controlled by sensor signals, e.g., Alert/Clear, the sensor will be in neither corresponding state following start or restart until a Valid signal is received, or in the case of Active/In- active until the INACTIVE_TIMEOUT interval has elapsed. For each single-unit ALIAS defined in the configuration file, the state variable 'x10_<alias_label>=bitmap', e.g., x10_porch_light=<bitmap> where <bitmap> is as described above. For X10 Security and other RF devices, the variables 'X10_Hu_vFlags' and 'x10_<alias_label>_vFlags'. These are bitmaps with bits which may also be tested with masks. Run 'heyu masklist' for a complete current list, but here are some commonly used ones: 'isLoBat' Low battery flag 'isRollover' Rollover flag. 'isSwMin' Door/Window sensor Min switch 'isSwMax' Door/Window sensor Max switch 'isMain' Main channel of two-channel sensor 'isAux' Aux channel of two-channel sensor 'isTamper' Tamper flag 'isTmin' Min temperature flag 'isTmax' Max temperature flag 'isRHmin' Min Relative Humidity flag 'isRHmax' Max Relative Humidity flag 'isBPmin' Min Barometric Pressure flag 'isBPmax' Max Barometric Pressure flag 'isSet' DigiMax Setpoint temperature is Set mode flag 'isHeat' DigiMax Heat mode flag 'isInit' Digimax Initialation Init flag Note that the prefix for ALIASes is the lower case 'x10' to avoid pos- sible conflict with the other Heyu environment variables which are pre- fixed with the upper case 'X10'. The configuration directive ENV_ALIAS_PREFIX can be used to revert to the upper case prefix for compatibility with existing scripts if absolutely necessary but is dep- recated. Mask variables are used to test the state variables without having to remember the bitmap values. Example: In the bash shell, the construct (($x10_porch_light & $isOn)) will return TRUE ( > 0 ) if the module aliased to porch_light is in the On state, and level=$(($x10_porch_light & $whatLevel)) will recover the brightness level of the module aliased to porch_light. Note: The bash construct above is compact and convenient, but is not defined by POSIX. Other shells will have to use the POSIX compatible construct: [ $(($x10_porch_light & $isOn)) -ne 0 ] to test the state of the module. The mask variables should always be used instead of the numeric values for testing the state of a module. The numeric values (for the Heyu environment) may change in a future release of Heyu. (The bit repre- senting 'On' is however guaranteed to always have the highest numeric value, so that a test for 'On' like the example in the Xtend documenta- tion $X10_B4>=128 will continue to work so long as the mask is used rather than the numeric value, i.e., $X10_B4>=$isOn.) Details of the function which launched the (normal) script: 'X10_Housecode' (A-P) 'X10_Unit' (1-16) 'X10_LastUnit' (1-16) 'X10_UnitAlias' 'X10_Linmap' where 'X10_Unit' is the last unit _in X10 order_ of the addressed units which resulted in launching the script, while 'X10_LastUnit' is the last addressed unit for that housecode (which may or may not have re- sulted in launching the script). 'X10_UnitAlias' is the label of the alias corresponding to the address 'X10_Housecode' and 'X10_Unit'. 'X10_Linmap' is a bitmap of all the addressed units which resulted in launching the script, with 1 = unit 1, 2 = unit 2, 4 = unit 3, 8 = unit 4, etc. 'X10_Source' (<signal_source>) where signal_source is "rcvi", "rcva", "sndc", etc. (Without the quotes.) 'X10_Function' (<func>) where <func> is one of the following (as appears in the Heyu monitor and/or logfile): AllOff, LightsOn, On, Off, Dim, Bright, LightsOff, Extended, Hail, HailAck, Preset, DataXfer, StatusOn, StatusOff, StatusReq, AllOn, xPowerUp, vData, vDataM, Panic, Arm, Disarm, Alert, Clear, Test, sLightsOn, sLightsOff, secTamper, sDusk, sDawn, rfxTemp, rfxTemp2, rfxRH, rfxBP, rfxVad, rfxPot, rfxVs, rfxLoBat, rfxOther, rfxPulse, rfx- Power, rfxWater, rfxGas, rfxCount, dmxTemp, dmxOn, dmxOff, dmxSetpoint, oreTemp, oreRH, oreBP, oreWgt 'X10_function' (<func>) As above, but <func> is lower case and where applicable can be used as a Heyu command, e.g., 'heyu $X10_function Hu'. (Note that the leading "X10_" remains upper case.) And only when <func> is 'Preset': 'X10_PresetLevel' (1-32) And only when <func> is 'Extended': 'X10_Xfunc' (0-255) 'X10_Xdata' (0-255) And only when <func> is 'Dim' or 'Bright': 'X10_RawVal' (2-210) (Unsigned for both Bright and Dim) 'X10_DimVal' (2-210) (+ for Dim, - for Bright) 'X10_BrightVal' (2-210) (+ for Bright, - for Dim) And only when <func> is 'Arm': 'X10_swHome' Logical (0 or 1) 'X10_swAway' Logical (0 or 1)) And only when <func> is 'Arm' or 'Alert' or 'Clear': 'X10_swMin' Logical (0 or 1) 'X10_swMax' Logical (0 or 1) And only for -timeout scripts: 'X10_Timer' (= timer number 1-NN which launched script, or "arm- timer") And only for -sensorfail scripts: 'X10_Sensor' (= Housecode|Unit of sensor) For RF data from X10 security, entertainment, RFXSensor, RFXMeter, Digimax, and Oregon transmitters: 'X10_Vident' (0-255) 'X10_Vdata' or 'X10_vData' (0-255) Temperature data from RCS compatible thermostats and remote thermome- ters as X10_H0_Temp and x10_<alias_label>_Temp. For RF data from RFXSensor 1-wire temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure sensors: X10_Hu_Temp, X10_Hu_Temp2, X10_Hu_RH, X10_Hu_BP, X10_Hu_Vs, X10_Hu_Vad, X10_Hu_Vadi, and X10_Hu_Pot. Also the alias versions of these variables, i.e., x10_<alias_label>_Temp, etc. For RF data from RFXMeter Power, Water, Gas, and Pulse meters and coun- ters: X10_Hu_Power, X10_Hu_Water, X10_Hu_Gas, X10_Hu_Pulse, and X10_Hu_Count. Also the alias versions of these variables, i.e., x10_<alias_label>_Power, etc. The variable X10_rollover has the Boolian value 1 or 0 depending whether or not the 'rollover' local flag was set in the meter or counter signal which launched the script. For RF data from Oregon Temp/RH/BP sensors: X10_Hu_oreTemp, X10_Hu_or- eRH, X10_Hu_oreBP. For BP sensors which transmit a weather forecast: X10_Hu_oreForecast. Also the alias versions of these variables, i.e., x10_<alias_label>_oreTemp. etc. For RF data from Electrisave and CM113 power monitors: X10_Hu_elsCurr and X10_Hu_elsPwr, and the alias version of these variables. For RF data from Owl CM119 power monitors: X10_Hu_owlPower, X10_Hu_owlEnergy, and the alias version of these variables. Note: None of the environment variables relating to a housecode|unit and function which launches a script exist for Powerfail, Sensorfail, RFFlood, RFJamming, or Timeout scripts. The flag environment variables, X10_Flag1 ... X10_FlagNN have values 1 or 0 when the corresponding flags are respectively set or cleared. The user coundown timer environment variables, X10_Timer1 ... X10_TimerNN, have the remaining times in seconds before timeout. Variable X10_ArmPendingTimer has the time in seconds before the Arm- Pending state will become the Armed state. The counter environment variables, X10_Counter1, ..., X10_CounterNN have the values 0-64K in those counters. The Calendar/Clock variables for today's date and time: 'X10_Year' (e.g., 2004), 'X10_Month' (1-12), 'X10_MonthName' (Jan, Feb, etc.), 'X10_Day' (1-31), 'X10_Hour' (0-23), 'X10_Minute' (0-59), 'X10_Second' (0-59), 'X10_WeekDay' (0-6), 'X10_WeekDayName' (Sun, Mon, etc.). 'X10_isDST' is a logical variable which is TRUE if Daylight Saving Time is currently in effect. 'X10_DateString' is an ASCII string with the date and time formatted as displayed with events in the Heyu monitor and log file. The variables 'X10_DawnTime', 'X10_DuskTime', and 'X10_SysTime', which have the values for today's Dawn and Dusk time and the current system time. All are expressed as seconds after 0:00:00 Civil (wall-clock) Time, although Dawn and Dusk are computed by Heyu only to the nearest minute. (Dawn and Dusk are defined by default to be synonymous with sunrise and sunset, although this definition may be changed with the configuration file directive DAWNDUSK_DEF. Their calculation require that the LONGI- TUDE and LATITUDE of the user's location be defined in the configura- tion file, otherwise these variables will be undefined. They will also be undefined when there is no actual Dawn or Dusk event, as in polar latitudes during various seasons of the year.) The logical variable 'X10_isNightTime' which is TRUE between the times of Dusk and Dawn. The logical variable 'X10_isDarkTime' which is TRUE between the times of Dusk and Dawn offset by +/- the number of minutes defined by the configuration directive ISDARK_OFFSET. The default is 30 minutes, meaning this variable will be TRUE between Dusk + 30 minutes and Dawn - 30 minutes. Example: SCRIPT motion_detector on :: ( (($X10_SysTime > $X10_DuskTime)) || (($X10_SysTime < $X10_DawnTime)) ) && heyu turn outside_lights on will result in turning on the modules aliased to 'outside_lights' when the motion detector module sends the 'on' function, but only between Dusk and Dawn. Note: This must all be written on one line. Somewhat simpler in this case however is the equivalent: SCRIPT motion_detector on :: (($X10_isNightTime)) && heyu turn outside_lights on The variables 'helper' and 'bighelper'. These have the same format as the command line argument passed to the heyuhelper script when the di- rective SCRIPT_MODE HEYUHELPER is chosen, e.g., a1Dim. They allow an existing heyuhelper script to be run under SCRIPT_MODE SCRIPTS by spec- ifying the command line in the SCRIPT directive as SCRIPT <launch condition> :: heyuhelper $helper or SCRIPT <launch condition> :: heyuhelper $bighelper This difference is that 'bighelper' will supply the housecode|unit for every affected unit as successive command line arguments, whereas 'helper' will supply the housecode|unit only for the last affected unit, the same as in the heyuhelper feature of Heyu 1.xx. For bighelper, the affected unit arguments will appear in reverse X10 unit order, i.e., 10, 2, 8, 16, 12, 4, 6, 14, 9, 1, 7, 15, 11, 3, 5, 13 so the first script argument will be the same for either helper or bighelper. The environment variable 'X10_Expire' contains the number of days (0-365) before expiration of an uploaded schedule, or a negative number with the following meaning: -1 SCHEDULE_EXPIRED (Schedule must be reloaded) -2 NO_EXPIRATION (Schedule contains no timers) -3 NO_RECORD_FILE (No schedule has been uploaded) -4 BAD_RECORD_FILE (File x10record is corrupted.) (These are the same numeric values which would be displayed upon execu- tion of 'heyu upload cronstatus'.) SCRIPT ENVIRONMENT for Xtend scripts Xtend (http://www.jabberwocky.com/software/xtend/) by David Shaw is an auxilliary program for launching scripts based on received X10 power line signals. Heyu now provides internally all the same functionality (and more) and Xtend is no longer needed. The additional functionality of Heyu requires changes in the environ- ment provided for the script which make it incompatible with scripts written for Xtend. For compatibility with existing Xtend scripts, the -xtend script option tells Heyu to instead supply the more limited but Xtend-compatible environment, as follows: The environment variable X10CONFIG contains the full pathname of the configuration file in effect for the Heyu state engine. Unless over- ridden, instances of Heyu executed by a script will therefore automati- cally use the same configuration file. The state variables 'X10_Hu=xtend_bitmap' for each housecode and unit 'Hu', where the bits in xtend_bitmap now have these values (which cor- respond with Xtend's): 32 Unit is addressed. 64 Unit is an appliance module i.e., has no Dim/Bright attributes. 128 Unit is On. The three mask variables 'isAddr', 'isAppl', and 'isOn', with values appropriate for Xtend. AUTHORS Charles W.
