Thanks…I saw PLM APIs but wasn’t sure initially how to use them with insteon xml…but now I see they are the long/raw form of xml insteon msg.

What I did to solve problem last night was use Ethereal (WireShark) to dump xml sent over wire.

Ended up with jsp to control the 3 sprinkler zones using following:

	else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler1On"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x40", "0x0");

else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler1Off"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x41", "0x0");

else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler2On"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x40", "0x1");

else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler2Off"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x41", "0x1");

else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler3On"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x40", "0x2");

else if(paramName.equals("Sprinkler3Off"))

sendInsteonCommand("0x01", "0x74", "0x39", "0x0F", "0x41", "0x2");



...



public void sendInsteonCommand(String p1, String p2, String p3, String p4, String p5, String p6) throws Exception

{

String cmd =

"n"+

"SndInsn"+

""+p1+"n"+

""+p2+"n"+

""+p3+"n"+

""+p4+"n"+

""+p5+"n"+

""+p6+"n"+

"n";



writeSocket(cmd);

}



public void writeSocket(String message) throws Exception

{

System.out.println("Sending message=n"+message);



Socket socket = new Socket("192.168.1.7", 8002);

OutputStream os = socket.getOutputStream();

os.write(message.getBytes());

System.out.println("wrote msg...");

InputStream is = socket.getInputStream();

byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];

int read = 0;

while(is.available() != 0)

{

read = is.read(bytes);

System.out.println("read "+read+" bytes...");

System.out.println("read="+bytes);

}

os.close();

socket.close();

}

Code is a hack but my web page now lets me control lighting and sprinklers…kewl.

Works reliably every time too…never yet had a problem with Insteon.
