I see, I'm looking forward to your results...

1. I asked about variables at least. I think Ocelot doesn’t inform external device when variable is changed, at least I can’t find this in Ocelot docs. So I think we need to have something like HB device (in HB hierarchy) connected to Ocelot driver. In this device we can setup variable number in Oce...

Can I read/write Ocelot variables?

When HB starts, does Ocelot driver update current status of x-10 devices?
I mean when HB starts x-10 devices could be in ON or OFF states.
It looks like c-max software could show current status of x-10 devices in x-10 monitor window.

I was not able to reproduce the crash with the new plugin that you were seeing. If you continue to see a crash with this latest plugin, please send me (at support@cebotics.com) the latest dump file (found in your \HouseBot\dump directory). Still getting exception. I have sent all files to your mail...

I made additional tests for current Ocelot driver. Session4 --------------------------------- I changed C-max program, now I send F1 instead of E1 As you could see driver shows 0xFE 0x05 0x05 instead of 0xFE 0x05 0x00 Session5 --------------------------------- I changed C-max program again, now I se...

And last part of program.

Thanks, I will test new driver. ... I don't know why but Ocelot driver received E5 instead of E1 (Sometimes it happens). I also have COM port monitoring log and according to it Ocelot sent to HB correct 0xFB 0x04 0x00 bytes but in Ocelot driver's log we could see 0xFB 0x04 0x04 it's very strange. Th...

In looking at the code for the Ocelot, it does actually handle the 0xFB response (or it should). It would probably be more helpful if you run an interface trace for the Ocelot to see more information on what is received and what is handled by the plugin. Scott, I did it. Session1 ------------------...

Yes Scott, I run C-max program. I don't think it's good idea to use Ocelot as transceiver only. You wrote in help > While it is possible to have the Ocelot internal program running > concurrently with HouseBot, bit complicates the HouseBot IR > configuration. So my idea is to use Ocelot for critical...

Anybody could help me? I really need support.
Scott where are you?

Here is my problem: When I use remote control to switch on/off x10 devices directly, HB updates status of x10 devices. But when ocelot switch on/off x10 devices HB doesn't update any status. At first I thought that Ocelot doesn't send to HB any info when it controls x10 devices itself. I used COM po...
