X10 Remote - FauserneEist - 10th Feb, 2013 11:51 PM
Hey,
I have a X10 remote and currently it does not work with XBian. I've tested it successfully on my debian pc with the standard lirc package and it is working fine. I tried copying the configuration files to my RPi but the xbian-lirc crashes as soon as I start irw. The remote uses the atilibusb driver. I cannot test the mode2 command from the wiki (mode2 -H atilibusb), because mode2 says it doesn't support that hardware yet.
I also managed to install the original lirc package on the RPi via apt-get. irw did recognize my button presses on the remote, but as you might know, lirc conflicts with xbian-lirc and therefore xbian-update. Removing xbian-update breaks xbmc, so this is no alternative...
My XBian version is the currently recommended one.
Is it possible to get this remote working? What additional information do you need? What can I try next? Thanks in advance.

Can you share the files that you used in the working config?

end remoteI don't have access to the hardware.conf right now, but essentially all I changed was the driver section from default to atilibusb.
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 11th Feb, 2013 12:17 AM
Please post that one as well, when you have time.
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 12th Feb, 2013 07:59 PM
Also share a lsusb, dmesg, and cat /proc/bus/input/devices output with us.
RE: X10 Remote - 1of16 - 21st Feb, 2013 04:08 AM
I'm using a X10 too, but its not working properly
hardware.conf is the standard file, is just updated the default.conf (not the custom.conf):
Terminal

#START_IREXEC=false

dmesg is attached
I can use the left-right and up-down button and the power button, but all other keys are without function.
got any ideas?
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 21st Feb, 2013 04:15 AM
If you follow my guide on our wiki you can definitely create a working lircmap.xml
RE: X10 Remote - 1of16 - 21st Feb, 2013 04:29 AM
would be a good idea....but:
Terminal
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 21st Feb, 2013 05:43 AM
So the hardware.conf isn't working? I though you said it did?
RE: X10 Remote - 1of16 - 21st Feb, 2013 05:47 AM
I can use the up/down/left/right keys on my remote, but nothing more.... so I guess its working?!?
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 21st Feb, 2013 05:51 AM
If mode2 isn't working than Lirc isn't working. Then you try this: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-414-post-4192.html#pid4192
RE: X10 Remote - 1of16 - 22nd Feb, 2013 03:22 AM
ok, its acting like a "keyboard", but "OK" doenst send any command.
other keys does:

any ideas? btw. I know that the x10 can work with lirc, I installed it on my laptop some time ago...
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 22nd Feb, 2013 03:55 AM
In this topic i explained a bit how you can make a custom lircmap.xml http://forum.xbian.org/thread-414-post-4247.html#pid4247
RE: X10 Remote - 1of16 - 22nd Feb, 2013 04:05 AM
yes, I did that (good thread btw), but still most keys on my remote aren't "working" at all....if I press them ("ok" for example) in the xbmc-debug-log nothing happens...
so I cant really generate a fully working remote.xml.
RE: X10 Remote - CurlyMo - 22nd Feb, 2013 04:14 AM
Did using the atilibusb module work for you?
