X10 – Easier from web
Altought you can control all your devices easily with heyu from your computer, it’s not something for everyone. A easier approach for daily usage is to use one of the various web interfaces that exist.
The two that are more popular are domus.Link and heyu web interface, I choose domus.Link, basically because it’s programmed using php and it will make it easier to install / modify.
To configure the environment, we will need a webserver (lighttpd) and the interpreter for the code (php)
apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi
To enable php for the web server:
lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
To get the software:
wget http://domuslink.googlecode.com/files/domus.Link2.1.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf domus.Link2.1.2.tar.gz
mv domus.Link/* /var/www/
chown www-data -R /var/www/
ln -s /usr/local/etc/heyu /etc/heyu
chmod g+w /etc/heyu -R
chgrp www-data /usr/local/var/tmp/heyu /usr/local/var/lock
chmod g+w /usr/local/var/tmp/heyu /usr/local/var/lock
chgrp www-data /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod g+rw /dev/ttyUSB0
The default password is 1234, once you are in the interface you can change it.
