W800 and All Lights On/Off

Post by jru »

I just installed a W800RF32 X10 RF Receiver to replace the various X10 TM751/RR501 tranceivers I had scattered around the house. To reflect the RF X10 commands on the power line I have added the task shown the the W800 Plugin Help.



This seems to work for everything I want except for the All Lights On and All Lights Off commands. Is this a limitation of the W800 receiver, a limitation of the W800 plugin, or because I'm doing something wrong?



Thanks,

Jim

It seems like it should work, but I've never tested those commands before. A data trace may give us some more clues. To generate a trace file:
  1. Select the Hardware Interface from the Tree View.
  2. Click on the 'Hardware Module Type' button at the top of the Interface Property list.
  3. Click on the 'Enabled' checkbox to turn on tracing.
  4. Try and use the interface again. This should generate data in the log file.
  5. Turn the tracing off by clearing the 'Enabled' checkbox set previously.
  6. Send the trace file (InterfaceTrace.*.csv) to me at '[email protected]'. The file can be found in the HouseBot\Logs directory.
