After installation of a DS10A in AHP I can see the sensor working fine as a door is opened and closed.

If you look in the configuration file (.ahx) for the sensor installed you can see that the sensor has been assigned a house and unit code.

Question - is this assigned house and unit code usable is some way within the interface or the AHP software?

Thanks,

You can create security macros using this address as it's base before you select the DS10A as the trigger. In other words, you can have a single X10 address contain a DS10A and all security macros that it triggers.

Keep in mind that the DS10A cannot directly trigger a macro set to this X10 address and triggering this X10 address will not trigger a security macro.

If you were thinking of reusing that X10 address for a different module, I'm not sure how AHP would respond. Since more than one module can be on that same address, then it may not be a problem. I wouldn't recommend it unless you already used up all 256 X10 addresses.

In case I didn't answer your question, can you give an example of how you would want to use it?

Thank you for you reply.

I was just interested in if the house and unit code (x10 address) used by the security module was useful in AHP for programming purposes.

I have done a bit of testing and it appears not, your helpful comments confirm this.

BTW...

I was going down this route as I found out that one cannot use conditional timers in AHP with a security module - i.e. it does not work.

Looks like adding a 'phantom' module is the way to go...
