TI103 Setup
These are the settings I have used to setup the TI103, YMMV, But it works for me. :-) image:misterhouse/act-TI103-RS232_1.jpg
TI103 make sure you get a working one ! , mine was bad from the vendor and they would not exchange ...:( by Gpski
Please note some important information from the maker of the ti103 driver that I found on yahoo groups:
While the external interface is otherwise identical, internally TI103.pm is substantially different. The ACT TI-103 accepts ASCII commands strings and TI103.pm in essence functions as a protocol translator. I believe that all of the commands that Misterhouse sends are implemented. But my collection of X10 modules is fairly limited. Only those commands that have meaning for the modules I have are tested. I have no 2way modules so while status commands and receiving are implemented, it is somewhere between likely and certain that they will not work - or atleast they will not return the correct data.
ACT's addressing beyond 255 units is not implemented.
For reference purposes I have a cm11. The TI-103 driver was done for a friend, as part of a Misterhouse based Radiant Heat control system I am working on. Thus far while the TI-103 has performed well I have not noticed any advantage over the cm11.

Put following line in the file mh/code/ lights.mht
X10A, P2, Ceiling_Light, MasterBedroom, TI103, AM486
The LAST Step:
This shows the start log of a properly configured mr house - ignore the orion III
Notice the line: " - Creating ti103 port on COM1" [5th] thats what you want to see happen to get the ti103 running with MrHouse.

This is how the command window looks with serial and x10 debug on with the ti103:
Notice the command lines that are produced by MrHouse PERL ......
- X10 : interface=ti103 isfunc=1/0 save_unit-XFF data=XFM/XFF**
//This permits you to actually view your output to the powerline module for debugging!// A line is likewise sent every minute by default on this MrHouse setup. ( all those saving object states without command lines)
This is the normal polling action MrHouse runs every minute for updates to your main program computer.
If you also had a diffrent x10 device the line would start with that devices name. image:misterhouse/mh1run.JPG caption="win xp 64 bit mr house ti103 interface operating correctly .."
