Hi Mark -

Wow, you've been busy - nice to see all the improvements.

Quick question - is there any way I can add 1-wire capabilities to your most
recent version just for my own use? I'm willing to edit the html help files
if that is what is needed,

Just curious, thanks for your time.

Hi everyone,
ECS 3.11 has been uploaded to
http://OmnipotenceSoftware.com/ECS_SETUP.EXE (Win) and
http://OmnipotenceSoftware.com/ecs_linux.zip (Linux).
Update history follows below.
For instructions, please see "Installing Updates" section of the help file.
Regards,

********************
3.11 REVISIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all updates to your configuration (main.cfg) are
performed automatically by ECS.

1) Renamed the following Classes:
         Old             New
         ---             ---
         ApplianceLinc   Insteon-Appliance
         LampLinc        Insteon-Lamp

2) Added new INSTEON-SWITCH and INSTEON-DIMMER Classes.
    These are functionally identical to the Insteon-Appliance and
Insteon-Lamp Classes (added only for clarity).

3) The 1st operational/X10-capable Object defined in main.cfg is now
assigned to peform all X10 I/O.
    So if you have an Ocelot and a PowerLinc, and ECS is not using the
desired unit for X10,
    then you can fix this by manually editing main.cfg and moving the
definition of the desired Object
    *above* that of the other.

4) Fixed bug whereby the ECS tray icon could fail to turn red on an error.

5) The Object Editor has been reformatted for a much cleaner appearance.


3.10 REVISIONS:

1) Added new PROCESS Class (denotes if a process is active).

2) Added new WINDOW Class (denotes if a Window exists).

3) Added NETCAM.Recorded-Seconds Property (denotes elapsed recording time).

4) ECS/LINUX:
         Corrected bug which triggered erroneous error on web page
downloads.
         Corrected bug which prevented WatchDog from restarting ECS.
         Corrected bug which prevented "-daemon" argument from being
processed.

5) NETCAM.File (which denoted an optional file that *every* image was to be
written to)
    has been replaced by NETCAM.Capture (which may set to a file name to
capture an image).
    SOME REQUIRED CHANGES TO YOUR CONFIGURATION (MAIN.CFG) MAY NOT BE
PERFORMED AUTOMATICALLY.
    PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR MAIN.CFG IF ANY NETCAM-RELATED ERRORS ARE REPORTED.

6) NETCAM.Download (which denoted when images were to be downloaded) has
been deleted.
    ECS now only downloads when the image is being displayed, recorded, or
captured.

7) Added "Group" Property to the ApplianceLinc and LampLinc Classes.
