Title: X10 Status
Post by: larryc on April 12, 2007, 10:53:31 AM

I am having trouble finding any information on X10 Status.  Things like: "on_command_pair".  Does anyone have a good online reference or can you tell me what "on_command_pair" is refering to?

Most X10 commands need two parts.  The first part contains housecode and module code to identify which module is being addressed.  The second part repeats the housecode and includes a command code.  That tells the previously identified module what to do if the housecodes match.

More info is available in the X10 spec:  http://www.x10pro.com/pro/pdf/technote.pdf

"On_command_pair" will look for both halves of the complete command.
