Xin/Xout Status Request

[Darrel Taylor]

XOUT translates the codes to be compatible with the BS2. (ugg)

If you use ...

DEFINE  XOUTXLAT_OFF 1

It turns off the translation, then you can use the codes from the table you were refering to.

Note: All the ON/OFF etc. codes will be different too.

Thanks for the info. Do you know what the conversion factor is? I would rather just have to convert the %11111 instead of converting all of the other codes in my program.

Thanks

Well if I've done the backwards translation correct ....

%11001

Should be the "Status Request".

The way it translates is... (suedo code)

temp = (Keycode + 4) & $0F
if Keycode.4 = 1 then temp = temp + $10
if temp.2 = 1 then temp = temp ^ 2

So by entering %11001 for the KeyCode, it should end up with %11111, which is "Status Request"

HTW,

Thanks so much for your help. I will try it tonight and post back.

Think I am on the right track.

Sending XOUT X10Out,zCross,[house\unit,House\%11001] returns 517 (1000000101) if the module is on or off. Any ideas why I am getting the same answer for both states?

Thanks

Are you sure that module is "Status Request" capable ?

Not all of them are.

Yes, it is a SmartHome ApplianceLinc 2-way #2002STW. Clearly says 2-way on it. Have also tried to (re)enable 2-way mode through programming.
