Sorry, I forgot a point. 90% of users won’t figure out Apache or PHP. they want a drag and drop solution. The exe is just drop in and double click to run and its all setup.

@chuck
Some counterpoints
1. Its function over form. Its lightning fast responsiveness no web server request response roundtrip re-rendering. The reviews from users have been quite positive.

2. No malware…I scan everything with ESET Nod32 before releasing. My other apps have been certified by CNET and Softpedia as 100% clean.

3. True its not skinnable but it does support the CM11, Cm12, CM15, CM17 Firecracker, and CM19. Does the webapp support all of those X10 devices? Or just the CM15?

4. This is true…iPod Touch and iPhone only.

@melloware
You could use that app, sure. There are some points that make it undesirable.
1. It is not an attractive app.
2. It requires an .exe install on the home PC. Who knows what kind of malware could be in it.
3. It is not customizable under the hood. The iPHC platform can be re-skinned or re-coded by someone with the know-how.
4. It is not accessible from all web enabled devices, just the iPhone.

You could also use this native iPhone/iPod application instead of a webapp.

As lance says, I think there are some files missing from the zip. The graphics files certainly are.

I’d gladly donate for a working copy of this to get me started.

Hi,

This is just what I’ve been looking for. I don’t (yet) have any PHP or MYSql experience and this is a great opportunity to learn.

I’ve just bought as CM15 as recommended and a couple of lamp modules.

I’ve installed everything as suggested but get a MYSQL error when opening the index.php file. Would you be prepared to give me some help to kickstart me?

I’ll email the error to you if you replay.

Thanks in anticipation.

It looks like if you rewrote it in PERL, queryplc would work… http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=7851.msg67236#msg67236

Hi. This is exactly what I have been looking for but I am having some trouble. I tried to follow your directions but I dont know much about PHP. It seems like there are some steps missing like how to structure the files. I got the index.php going but it hangs when it tries to run the form handler. I think im missing some files. Would it be possible to post all of the files you are using in their exact file and folder structure? Thanks.
