Xin/Xout Status Request

[JackPollack]

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.

How many words are you receiving?

From what I gather, the first word is the dimmer status. For On/Off Appliance modules, it's probably meaningless.

The second word is the ON/OFF status.
