X10CONFIG(5) X10CONFIG(5)
Note: If Heyu is already running, use ´heyu restart´ for changes in this directive tobecome effective inthe
heyu_relay daemon.
This directive allows the user to determine the accuracyofthe CM11A clock when operating solely on bat-
tery power.E.g., run ´heyu setclock´ to set the CM11A clock to the system clock, unplug the CM11A from
the wall socket for several hours or a day,plug it back in and run ´heyu readclock´ to compare the CM11A
and system clocks.
AUTO_WAIT directive
This directive instructs Heyu to ping the CM11A before sending each X10 command. It has been reported
that the USB port on some non-PC systems running Linux (toasters, maybe?) seem to need this nudge to
wake them up. This directive takes a parameter 0 through 300 representing the maximum number of pings
(at one second intervals) to try before a ping response is receivedfrom the CM11A. The default is 0, mean-
ing the CM11A is not pinged.
