Title: Activity Monitor showing wrong response to Status Request for some 2-way devices
Post by: steve l. on January 24, 2005, 10:31:24 PM

Appears the software is going about querying
the status of a 2-way appliance module
differently than it does 2-way transcievers
or the PR511 Floodlight.

I am wondering if this is having any effect
on the updated status of the things hooked to
the appliance module.  Cold and/or dead
lizards and frogs will make the WAP take a
nose dive fast :)

Both transmits shown in the log where
initiated via the software, pressing the
softkey "Poll" for each device.

Hardware:
PR511 Floodlight
AM14A 2-way 2pin Appliance Module

From Activity Monitor:

0    01/24/2005 7:15:45 pm    Transmit    C9
(Backyard Flood)
1    01/24/2005 7:15:46 pm    Transmit    StatusRequest
2    01/24/2005 7:15:47 pm    Receive    StatusOff
3    01/24/2005 7:15:47 pm    Receive    StatusOff
4    01/24/2005 7:16:07 pm    Transmit    A14
Extended Code 0 37 (Lizard/Frog Lights)
5    01/24/2005 7:16:09 pm    Receive    A14 Output
status acknowledge ff 38 (Lizard/Frog Lights)

The stuff set to A14 was on by the way, so I
guess that response means "on", but is the
software updating the status correctly based
on the reception of that extended data?

Guess I'll try it with a 2-way lamp module,
and report back what it sends and responds with.

The RR501 and PR511 use the standard X10
"Status Request" command for polling. The
LM14A and AM14/15A require the extended code
for status request. The software is doing
what it should be doing to make the request.

But the question remains:

Is the AHP software status of the modules
being updated correctly via the responses
from the 2-way modules?
