Title: What Monitored House Code in CM15A does?
Post by: wyx2000 on August 20, 2011, 06:02:53 PM

I first thought it is for monitoring X10 command in power line, but seems it monitor A and B no matter what the monitored house code set.

The Monitored House Code is used to select which of the 16 house codes the CM15A will track status of.
This is especially useful for conditional macros, where you want to use the status of a specific module to determine the action (If the light is on, sound the chime - for example).
If you keep the CM15A connected to the PC, and you keep the Pc turned on, then AHP can monitor ALL 16 housecodes. However, it will only be able to tell you the status of one of them for macro purposes.
