I will continue using hejmo for my home automation, I’ll also improve resources, probably create new ones…

First, I need to download hejmo :

cd /usr/src
svn checkout http://hejmo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ hejmo

Hejmo bus

All hejmo parts communicate through the Hejmo bus, based on D-Bus.

A special instance of D-Bus is started for hejmo, listening on the network.

cd /usr/src/hejmo/hejmobus/
sudo make install
sudo update-rc.d hejmobus defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/hejmobus start

Python-hejmo

Hejmo resources are often (let’s even say always for now) programmes in Python, the python-hejmo package helps a lot…

sudo apt-get install python-dbus python-gobject python-daemon
cd /usr/src/hejmo/python-hejmo
sudo python setup.py install

X10 controller

I’m using a CM15A X10 controller.

I’ve managed to make it work by using the IPLC driver, slightly modified because of the recent modifications in the Linux kernel.

I’ve compiled it on my home automation controller from hejmo‘s repository.

First, the source code may be modified, according to the Linux kernel version ; on line 46, the include statement shoud point either to <linux/autoconf.h> or <generated/autoconf.h>.

cd /usr/src/hejmo/x10_driver/cm15a
sudo -s
make
make install
exit

Resources

First I’m gonna install (but not activate) all resources I’ve created so far.

cd /usr/src/hejmo/resources
sudo ./install.sh

cd /usr/src/hejmo/resources-starter
sudo make install
