schmuttis:
We are using ahcmd.exe to call sendplc commands to WS12A smart switches. Can someone tell me what actually happens when you send a command like "dim 20"? We have two switches installed controlling 50 7-watt bulbs each. We'd like to have them change levels separately during the evening. They don't seem to respond the way we would like. We've tried running a bright 100 followed by a dim 40, bright 100, dim 60, etc. Sometimes they seem to get stuck. Other times the bright 100 seems to hold too long before the dim takes effect. Sometimes they just stay dimmed and don't change. This is running within a loop in a macro. Any documentation or suggestions on how these switches react to dim and bright commands would be greatly appreciated.

Brian H:
The load being controlled by the WS12A.
Standard incandescent or 120 volt Halogen?
Not dimmable LED or low voltage with a power supply. As most act strange on a WS12A.

schmuttis:
The load on each WS12A is 50 7-watt incandescent bulbs. The script being run is an AutoHotKey script. Our interface is a CM15A.

I attached a picture of the chandelier that we created and are trying to control via X10.

dhouston:
How many switches?
Are all using the same housecode?
How much time between commands?

Tuicemen:
You will always have issues your seeing using the ahcmd.exe
This file was only created to show simple send command possibilities of the SDK.
It wasn't designed for multiple send commands run closely together.
