HP564A Pendant and W800 Plugin

Does the W800 plugin recognize the codes sent from the HP564A pendant from X10? The demo program from the WQL site shows the codes being received but HouseBot doesn't seem to recognize them. I have tried setting it up as both a security sensor and a security remote but when I try to set the address for the device nothing happens. HouseBot responds fine to a KR10A Security Remote, so it looks like the plugin is installed correctly.

The HP564A is a heart shaped pendant with two buttons. It is used as an "I've fallen and can't get up" trigger.

Can you run a hardware interface trace and send me the output?

Scott,

Here is the trace data for each button on the HP564A:

Button labeled "Emergency Call"

"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0xb1]"
"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0xbe]"
"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0x3]"
"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0xfc]"
"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","W800 received raw data [b1 be 03 fc]."
"1/3/2009","1:45:54 am","W800 RF interface","Warning","W800 has received an invalid housecode value [0x3]"

Button labeled "Stop"

"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0xb1]"
"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0xbe]"
"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0x83]"
"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","Character Received [0x7c]"
"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Debug","W800 received raw data [b1 be 83 7c]."
"1/3/2009","1:46:05 am","W800 RF interface","Warning","W800 has received an invalid housecode value [0x83]"

If it is of any help, the data from the WGL Data Decoder is:

"Emergency Call" = C0 3F 8D 7D
"Stop" = C1 3E 8D 7D

Thanks for looking into this and if there is anything more you need from me, let me know.

Pat

The plugin wasn't aware of the new codes sent by the HP564A.

I've added the new codes to the plugin. The changes will be in the next update.
