Sending Security codes with AHCMD?
« on: March 21, 2009, 04:43:13 PM »

With the latest version of AHP I started playing with AHCMD again!
I noticed 2 new commands I never seen before
Sendsecurerf
Sendsecurehomecontrolrf

 Has anyone else noticed these?
One of the required inputs is [security code]
And has anyone been able to send a security code with either of these?
Perhaps someone using libusb could play with the two to see what if anything these commands will actualy send!
The syntax seems to allow this ! ::) :'

I have a new iunstallation of AHP, but the sendsecure commands do not show up.
I wonder if you added some other applcation that added them???

I had thought this as well as I was playing with the LIBUSB!

I checked a different machine that doesn't have libUsb and they are on it!
Now I must admit I have installed some beta X10 drivers that may have introduced these options  ::) :'
I guess I'm alone in this for now!  ???
Maybe these options exists in previous builds they are just hidden?  ::) :'

Update:
Just checked my wifes PC she has none of these programs on it But I had installed AHP3.236 on it for testing and since removed it!
The Ahcmd.exe that is in the common\x10 folder shows these options so it must be a 3.236 add :)!

Actually that is the version in my common/x10 folder, how ever the version I play with most is in my SDK folder and it is version 1. Both display these options and on all 3 of the PCs that have or had AHP installed!  ::) :' the only thing besides AHP 3.326 that I may have installed to make a difference was the updated x10 drivers found here(Version 3.236) although I don't remember installing them on my wife's PC! ??? ::) :'

I think I know why I have a version older then yours, even though I have a very new setup.
I *think* the sdk overwrote with an older version.

I'm gonna reinstall AHP to see...

The reinstall got the newer version of ahcmd and that has the new "secure" commands

It looks to be commands for the security console...

ahcmd [sendsecurerf/sendsecurehomecontrolrf] [RFcommnad] [security type] [security code] [transmit] [delay]

I've gotten some of them figured out but am still working on the rest.

sendsecurerf = [arm away]
sendsecurehomecontrolrf = [arm home]
security type = [standard or extended][why/what ?]
security code = [house code]
transmit = [?]
delay = [?]

I just recieved some bad news about these commands :'(
Well not so bad if you have a SC9000 ::) :'
Seems they use a slightly different protocol common to european x10 security devices (41 bit commands instead of 32 bit commands) ??? :'
Why was this added to the SDK ??? ??? ???

Tuicemen:
Most USA version X10 security devices send 41 bit codes, at least the DS10A, MS10A, KR10A, and KR15A units I own all do.
The one exception I own is a SH624 (date code 03L52) which sends a 32 bit code.   Newer SH624 units may be different however, given that X-10 is known to make drastic changes in their devices without warning or change of part number.

If you register X10 security devices with OnAlert and then look in the .ahx file, you'll find a 16 bit security ID there for the 41 bit devices.
(The ID field for a 32 bit device is only 8 bits).

I receive both 41 and 32 bit codes with a 310 MHz RFXCOM RF receiver in variable length packet mode.  In 32 bit W800RF32 emulation mode (or with an actual W800RF32A) only the lower 8 bits of the ID is reported.

Europeans owning the 433.92 MHz RFXCOM RF receiver receive similar 41 bit codes from most European X10 security devices I'm aware of, but I haven't had anyone report about the European SH624.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

hum ! ??? ::) :'
Maybe the I  mixed up the 41/32 bit info received! :-[
In any case it was stated that without a SC9000 the commands weren't of much use. :(
