Java API for X10 controllers
A Java API for X10 home automation controllers
This package contains the specification of the API for X10-compliant home automation drivers. Supporting drivers are expected to implement the X10Controller and X10Driver interf
Tutorial Details:
X10 clients
The client interacts with this API in a manner similar to the code shown below. This example sends an `on\' event to the specified housecode and unitcode. Note that not all events require unitcodes, although the housecode is mandatory
X10Controller controller = X10DriverManager.getX10Controller (url, user, password);
controller.send(new X10Event (X10Event.X10EVENT_ON, housecode, unitcode);
controller.close();
Not all controllers support user authentication, and those that do don\'t always require both user and password. However, the client is required to supply something in these arguments; the underlying driver is free to ignore it if desired.
To make this API work, vendor-specific drivers are required. The driver manager selects a suitable driver from those available by checking the URL. X10 URLs are expected to begin with x10; following this should be a product identifier; everthing after this is vendor specific. For example, the twserial driver will respond when offered URLs like this:
x10:twserial:[host]:[port]
The precise nature of the URL is defined by the driver vendor.
X10DriverManager
X10DriverManager is responsible for selecting drivers on behalf of clients. The mechanism of operation is exactly the same as for the SQL driver manager: the client opens a connection like this:
X10Controller c = X10DriverManager.getX10Controller (url, user, pass);
The driver tries to match the URL to those understood by the loaded drivers. It tries each driver on the list by calling its canConnect() method; it this returns true, it tries to call getX10Controller() on the driver. If this returns a driver, then the driver manager considers its job done. If none of the loaded drivers responds, then getX10Controller throws an X10NoSuitableDriverException.
