Scott, Assuming I can't change "allow same value change" aspect for the Caller_ID_Info_Received property for the modem device - I came up with a workaround that solves my problem. I added a delay by using the Timer function in VB in the script to wait 10 seconds. That appears to allow enou...

Scott - The Caller_ID_info_receive field is a locked property. If it is the one associated with the caller ID device, then it has what appears a lock so I can't change whether it allows same value change or not like the other property devices? That was my first thought in trying to fix this problem ...

Hi - I'm a newb to Housebot but I learn fast! :wink: My goal is to use the caller ID feature to track the last few phone calls and display them on a software remote. I did not want to use the HB logging feature as that actually writes the logged data to a file - this is not what I want - it is not d...

Scott, Sorry that it took me a while to generate a trace log that was usable. I'm new to HB so I had to figure out how to get the trace output you were looking for. I believe you wanted the trace data on the USB powerlinc interface itself so here it is. Also, the wife was a bit tired of watching the...

Scott - I wrote my reply before reading your reply regarding HB having USB Powerlinc query the status after each X10 command. Is it at all possible to have a X10 command sent out without a status request being issued? In the example of my lights in the previous post, all the units are 1 way lamp mod...

Scott, I wanted to touch upon the delay issue between two successive X-10 commands mentioned earlier in this thread. I don't know where is an appropriate question to ask this except it's been mentioned already in this thread. Is there any way that the delay between successive X10 commands can be cha...

Scott, Many thanks for your fast reply! That did the trick. I had actually figured out #1 and #2 but was a bit stumped in figuring out #3 of your suggestion. I did see a variation of your suggestion elsewhere in the forums but it didn't click in my head. Now it makes sense. What is happening is a ch...

All - I would like to control the dim level of two X-10 lights by using the preset dim X10 codes. I have been able to set up a script that obtains the desired dim level (0 - 31) by using GetPropertyValue. However, what I'd really like to do is invoke this script to set the dim levels of the two ligh...
