Is there a way to have any X10 compatible software control an MP3
player (software). I have a full x-10 system that controls everything
in my office.
When the motion detector sensor detects something, it sends a signal
to the PC, which turns on the lights, and fires up the hot water
brewer. It would be cool if the computer could also start playing mp3
files.
Thanks |

hi sherpaj
What about script control? Have you considered
that? I believe you just add the command to
bring up Winamp or whichever, when the computer
receives whatever signal is sent to it.

We have a Windows computer and a Mac OSX computer (with itunes 3), and
can use ether one. We have the x10 serial port adaptor on the windows
computer. I need to know what x10 software to use, and how to get it
to trigger the playing of MP3s. Hope that helps

Hi
I remembered a few plugins addressed
the X10 functionality in Winamp.
Those are for the X10 mouse control.
[ http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/browse.jhtml ]
Are you familiar with this product?

How much control beyond this do you need?
have you considered X10 scripting?

Thanks to alienintelligence-ga's comment, I was able to find a link to
something that might solve the problem. Here it is:
http://www.x10.com/products/x10_mr26a.htm, and also,
http://www.x10.com/products/x10_ak11a.htm. I think these will nail
it.
