[Freevo-users] Slightly OT: home automation - x10, zigbee, others?

2009-04-28 Thread John Molohan
Hi,

Sorry for cross posting but I thought there might be users on either 
list that could help. Given I'm picking up keys to my first house on 
Thursday I've got a sudden interest in home automation. I know there's a 
plugin for freevo (for x10 I believe) but that's about it.

 From some quick research I see there's also zigbee as an alternative to 
x10. I'm wondering if anyone has more knowledge on this and could share 
their experiences. I'm in Ireland so UK or Irish specific hardware info 
would be good. Off the top of my head what I'd be looking for initially 
at least is control over power socket outlets and a gas powered boiler 
with radiators as the central heading system.

I don't have an endless supply of funds so anything I might for will be 
with a view to reducing consumption and bills (hence the central heating 
control). Socket outlet control is probably more for convenience but 
should help somewhat (e.g. when powering down freevo before going to bed 
I can switch off all appliances downstairs and not have them on standby).

 Out of interest without reading through the code were there some
 further
 steps that could have been taken running freevo prompt to narrow down
 the problem?
 
 Not really the way I debugged it was that I had a hunch that the problem
 was in config as exceptions in that module never seem to generate a
 stacktrace when starting freevo. I just put lots of print statements in
 until I narrowed the problem down to a few lines.
   
 I used a slightly different way, using ./freevo --debug generates a
 freevo-pdb.sh that you can then run any will leave you in the main module.

 # cat freevo-pdb.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 export RUNAPP=
 export FREEVO_SCRIPT=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/freevo
 export FREEVO_PYTHON=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/src
 export FREEVO_LOCALE=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/i18n
 export FREEVO_SHARE=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/share
 export FREEVO_CONTRIB=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/contrib
 export FREEVO_CONFIG=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/freevo_config.py
 export FREEVO_HELPERS=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/src/helpers
 export PYTHONPATH=/sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/src
 export
 PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/sbin:/usr/sbin
 python -m pdb /sources/svn/freevo-1/rel-1/freevo/src/main.py --debug

 However I use the wing ide which is easier to use and then break and
 step though the code.

 Ahh that is useful to know, I was trying to debug it at work over lunch.
 At work I've got Netbeans with Python support running in Windows and a
 Ubuntu image running in VirtualBox for Freevo. One thing I haven't tried
 yet is using a debugger with python, I shall give it a go.

 Cheers

 Adam

   
Yep, good to know. Thanks to both of you for the replies.

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.8.3 from source hangs on twisted.web.microdom

2009-04-28 Thread Phil Raymond

Trying to install newest version of Freevo, since new ubuntu 9.04 has gotten 
rid of python 2.3 support. I've gotten this far

freevo-1.8.3$ sudo python setup.py install
checking for xml.utils.qp_xml... found
checking for kaa...found
checking for kaa.metadata... found
checking for kaa.imlib2... found
checking for BeautifulSoup... found
checking for pygame... found
checking for Image...  found
checking for twisted...found
checking for twisted.web.microdom... not found
please download it from http://www.twistedmatrix.com/ and install it

Problem is, there is no separate download for this at twistedmatrix.com. 
Furthermore, it's already inside of twisted 8.2.0, which as you can see, is 
installed. Why is Freevo not detecting twisted.web.microdom inside of twisted? 
Any answers and/or solutions if anybody knows, please help.
