If you are using OnAlert this link will help:

Arming DX7000 via a Macro (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10205.0)

NOTE: You can only arm the system this way. You cannot disarm or trigger it directly.

I don't mind at all.

1-    what are the flags for.

Flags are used for setting conditions in Smart Macros.

2-    what is ftp

This is for uploading pictures and videos to an FTP server.

3-    what is extended code
4-    comand byte,data byte

These are for special X10 commands outside the normal ON/OFF/DIM/BRIGHTEN type of commands. I am not familiar with these since I do not use them. There are lots of topics and information about them here on the forum, as well as many X10 gurus who could answer specific questions you may have.


Tuicemen has provided some very good links to many AHP topics/problems/questions here: X10 Issues? Please Read This First! (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=7951.0)

If you don't find what you are looking for, continue to ask.
