Package jmri.jmrix.powerline

This package handles communications for powerline adapters, such as X10.

See:
Description

Interface Summary
InsteonSequence.Command	Represent a single Insteon command, which is either a "set address" or "do function" operation
SerialInterface	Interface to send/receive serial information
SerialListener	Listener interface to be notified about serial traffic
X10Sequence.Command	Represent a single X10 command, which is either a "set address" or "do function" operation

Class Summary
ActiveFlag	Provide a flag to indicate that the system provided by this package is active.
InsteonSequence	Represent a sequence of one or more Insteon commands (addresses and functions).
InsteonSequence.Address	Represent a single "set address" Insteon command
InsteonSequence.ExtData	Represent a single "Extended Data" Insteon command
InsteonSequence.Function	Represent a single "do function" Insteon command
SerialAddress	Utility Class supporting parsing and testing of addresses Two address formats are supported: For X10: Ptnxx where: t is the type code, 'S' for sensors, and 'L' for lights n is the house code of the input or output bit (A - P) xx is a bit number of the input or output bit (1-16) examples: PLA2 (House Code A, Unit 2), PSK1 (House Code K, Unit 1) For Insteon: Pthh.hh.hh where: t is the type code, 'S' for sensors, and 'L' for lights aa is two hexadecimal digits examples: PLA2.43.CB
SerialConnectionTypeList	Returns a list of valid Powerline Connection Types
SerialLight	Implementation of the Light Object for Powerline devices.
SerialLightManager	Implement light manager for powerline serial systems System names are "PLnnn", where nnn is the bit number without padding.
SerialMessage	Contains the data payload of a serial packet.
SerialPortController	Abstract base for classes representing a communications port
SerialReply	Contains the data payload of a serial reply packet.
SerialSensor	Extend jmri.AbstractSensor for serial systems
SerialSensorManager	Manage the system-specific Sensor implementation.
SerialSystemConnectionMemo	Lightweight class to denote that a system is active, and provide general information.
SerialTrafficController	Converts Stream-based I/O to/from messages.
SerialTurnout	Turnout implementation for X10.
SerialTurnoutManager	Implement turnout manager for powerline systems System names are "PTnnn", where nnn is the turnout number without padding.
SerialX10Light	Implementation of the Light class for X10-based subclasses.
SystemMenu	Deprecated.
X10Sequence	Represent a sequence of one or more X10 commands (addresses and functions).
X10Sequence.Address	Represent a single "set address" X10 command
X10Sequence.ExtData	Represent a single "Extended Data" X10 command
X10Sequence.Function	Represent a single "do function" X10 command

Package jmri.jmrix.powerline Description

This package handles communications for powerline adapters, such as X10.

The package structure has to take two kinds of variation into account:

Multiple adapters, e.g. as shown on the compatibility page. Each of these has its own serial protocol, including its own message format.
Multiple device families and types, starting with X10, but later including Insteon and perhaps others. Individual adapters might support one or several of these.

Our strategy is to use explicit interfaces for each device protocol, implemented by a polymorphic TrafficController for each adapter type.

For example, the primary SerialTrafficController abstract class has an interface for sending X10Sequence objects. An X10Sequence encapulates just the X10 commands, not the particular message needed to send them. When the X10Sequence is passed to the specific SerialTrafficController implementation, e.g. SpecificTrafficController, it's encapsulated in one or more SpecificMessage objects, queued and sent.

The setup is done in SerialDriverAdapter, which keys off the adapter name in option1.
