Title: Question: abusing extended X10 commands to have more than 256 addresses?
Post by: orcusomega on January 11, 2011, 05:48:22 PM

Is there anyway to use extended X10 commands to execute different functions on the SAME HC/UC?  I got to thinking about this and it seems that if we are able to to this, we could easily extend beyond the 256 address limitation...

Thoughts?
