Power line comms X-10

Might also be of use.

Perhaps, but probably not in the case of Status Request. There are only a few X-10 modules that respond to Status Request and those do not actually reflect the state of the load - merely the state of the module. The lamp might be burned out, turned off at its switch or unplugged but the module will still report its ON if that's the state of the module. It's more a, "What's your best guess of status?" request and a, "Your guess is as good as mine." response.

BTW, the reason meL supports the BasicStamp codes is that Xout (and Xin) were original BasicStamp procedures. The non-Pro PB syntax is based on PBasic.
