Any chance of putting the RSMB binary image for the Raspberry Pi's ARM architecture on the DeveloperWorks site?

It would be helpful for the Pi community to have a more packaged capability to implement such functionality rather than a steep curve with each piece. Focus on development and not the umpteen packages. I look forward to your work.Anne Barelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15220828568926183065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530126026798191467.post-25308784289517624182012-06-07T14:08:36.498+01:002012-06-07T14:08:36.498+01:00Hi Simon,

It's an interesting technology which I'd installed in my bachelor pad back in 2004.. (being married now my wife wasn't quite as convinced about the expense when we got our current house re-wired. :-) ). You can find more about the devices from the Lets Automate web page (http://www.letsautomate.com/index.cfm?&Nav=X10). I'm going to use this technology for controlling the immersion heaters in my thermal store when my solar panels are generating enough energy.<br /><br />What I would be interested in knowing is how you got the current status of the X10 switch.. most of the X10 switches I have seen only allow you to set the status but not to read it. Therefore if someone manually turns on the towel rail (say using a momentary switch) then how does the RSMB receive a message about the updated state?Rick Morrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530126026798191467.post-55495640755288487472012-06-07T12:32:49.134+01:002012-06-07T12:32:49.134+01:00Very interesting.

A drop-in-diagram showing the setup might be useful, too. Either way, very cool demo - nice work!Andy Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666427891464758843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530126026798191467.post-39844280013341044522012-06-06T11:38:46.072+01:002012-06-06T11:38:46.072+01:00Thanks!
