Johnny5dm,

Welcome to the forum.

I extracted the below from the document that you referenced.  Data type 3 is used for module control.  Control type "31" is the direct dim command.  The "B" field shown is used to specify dim values of 0 to 63 (6 bits = 2^6 values).  The "T" field is used for ramp time - I've never used it.

Clear as mud,
Boiler

Thanks for the reply - it took me a few times to figure out that the type 3 section was what I needed.  Thanks!!  I'm having fun with my new LM465's now.  Although there are still some interesting issues (you can put it IN to a group but can't take it out without unplugging it...).  But fun, nonetheless!  Thanks again!

One more bug to add to the list.   I've confirmed it with the redesigned LM465 I have.  Thanks for the report.

BTW, that "T" field to set a ramp time has no effect for any X10 module with extended code support that I've tested: LM14A or redesigned versions of LM465 and WS467.  The "T" field wasn't mentioned in the earlier version of X-10's extended code document and I think they neglected to remove it when it was reissued as a PDF file.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

Thanks Charles,
As I said,  I've never tried programming the ramp rate previously.  I use Leviton units and program the ramp at the switch.  I just tried programming the "T" field and it had no effect on the ramp rate for a HCM06.
