Title: X10 module: do not keep COM port opened
Post by: SeNS on July 02, 2014, 09:48:00 PM
Could you please modify your X10 module (XTenManager class) to avoid keeping COM port open (for CM11, "Firecracker" module)?
I do have my own apps, lightweight GUI and "hidden" app (for the keyboard hotkey handling). Currently HomeGenie preventing me to use my apps; as a result, I can't use yours perfect software (but I really want to!

Actually, opening a serial connection under Windows is fast. So, sequence should be (like my apps working):
- open port (you may configure it only once, AFAIR it will keep settings)
- send bits sequence to CM11
- close port

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I can try to modify by myself (I'm programmer, and HomeGenie (it's rulez!) is open source but (I believe so) will be better to add it to the mainline of the product.
