Title: question/problem with queryplc using ahcmd.exe
Post by: michael creamer on March 29, 2005, 10:07:39 PM
I'm writing some Perl code and I've been
successful with 'sendplc' via the ahcmd.exe
command line interface but I'm not getting
any result codes, etc. when I use
the 'queryplc' parameter to check status &
levels.

Is the 'queryplc' functionality working OK
via the ahcmd.exe interface?  Has anyone
else worked with this?

Thanks!
Michael

You might have a problem with most x10
modules - as they are one-way (receive)
only. This command might require that the
module be able to send it's status back on
the power line (receive/transmit) or two-
way.

I think that queryplc checks the X10 device
services internal status tracking, so you
should at least get back an on status for
modules you sent commands to. I'll double
check on that for you.

HI All,

I'm also trying to get the queryplc
working. They ask us to use the SendAction
function and it will return values.. But
the whole function it self does not return
any values. Always Zero. I'm writing
JScript.... my other commands works. The
only problem is this queryplc..I'm working
on that.. and let yall know the updates.

Thanks
Waas

It seems as if queryplc stopped working with
the 3.18x release. It worked before then

I can confirm queryplc does not
work...when...?  Pretty fundamental command
to be failing...i would be embarrassed to
have such a raw flaw in my code.

It seems to be addressed here:
