Hi,
A lot of people on this forum are having problems with queryplc and ahscript.dll version 3.0.0.183. I have the same problems, and have contacted X10, but haven't got any answers... Does anyone have version 3.0.0.200 (or newer) to share with me...?

What language are you trying to program in?  I program in PHP and have not had any issues.  PHP however does not use the ahscript.dll command.  It uses the ahcmd.exe.  Maybe some of the info in this link will help.

The query issue is not related to the SDK. I think it is the CM15As as query use to work  here and now they don't!
 Althought you don't have the most up to date version.
If you download the latest version of AHP you will get the latest ahcript.dll added to the \Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common folder.

dbemowsk: you may wish to re think your use of the AHCMD.
Although it may work for the occasional sends if will fail and lockup with multiple sends.

I have download the last version of AHP, but there is no file ahscript.dll who moves into the folder  \Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common

Where can we to download version ahscript.dll 3.0.0.200 ??

The file is there!
Make sure you have windows set to see all files, even system files!

Do you have another suggested way of using it?

Here is the PHP function I use.

/*
execute an X-10 command
types : sendplc, queryplc, sendrf

For queryplc command, return[1] will be either -1 (unknown), 0 (off), or 1 (on)
when sending "on" to the $action parameter
*/
function x10cmd($type, $hcode, $ucode, $action, $time="") {
     $cmd = $type." ".$hcode.$ucode." ".$action." ".$time;
     exec(".\bin\ahcmd ".$cmd, $return[0], $return[1]);
     return $return;
} //End function x10cmd


It seems to work well for me.  The ahcmd.exe is the only thing I can use in PHP.  There is nothing defining how to use the .dll in PHP.  As far as I know you can use the .dll in internet explorer, but not in firefox.  Also, I have tried some of the examples from the SDK that run in IE, but they only work locally on the machine.  If I try to run the files from a remote machine through a web server running on the HA PC, they do not work because of the way they are scripted in the html page. 

Define occasional and multiple sends?

Thanks

I'm sorry Dan,
I know nothing about PHP.
If the AHCMD is working well for you then stick with it, but I would suggest you explore a way of using the dlls.
Eventually you'll have sending issues and it is best you know what is most likely the cause. 
Perhaps if you start a new thread dedicated to PHP someone will jump in with another means.
Bill and I have discussed the fact that someone should build a new AHCMD that over comes the flakiness of this one.

 

[dbemowsk]

I did some more thinking and I may be able to to use the DLL through a VBscript.  I didn't realize that the ahcmd was flaky, but I should have figured, this is an X10 program we're talking about .

I will probably take your advice and start a new thread on this.

I am guessing that your comment about the ahcmd being flaky is because you have used it and had problems.

Well not just from my experiences!
But others who have used it extensively reported lock ups and failures!

This is already the case, the only files I have are : \Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common
- x10.exe
- x10net.dll
- X10nets.exe
- xsetup.dll

I get the file ahscript.dll by the SDK, but it is version 3.0.0.183! -_-!

could someone give me the file, please?

Thank you very much Tuicemen, I have now, a states return, 1 for a module ON and -1 for a module OFF not 0, is it normal?

[Tuicemen]

If I remember -1 is unknown although I never did get that, 1 was for ON and 0 for off
