Hello,

For the need of a project, I need to know which X10 device are plugged or unplugged.

After reading sdk documentation and this forum, I was thinking to use this method :

Code: [Select]

status = ActiveHomeObj.SendAction("queryplc", unitID + " on")On result, I should have the following matching : {-1, unplugged}, {0, off}, {1, on}
And with a loop from A to P and from 1 to 16, I was thinking to be able to know the status of all "port".

My program compile, and I get some result but not those expected.
I don't detect the current status but the value of the last request send.
If I unplug the device (for example a LM12F) or change it channel, it is not detected when I do a new query.

I found the application that store those information : X10nets.exe.
If I stop this program, all status are set to -1. No check to know if something is plugged.

I would like to know if there is a way to really ask to device the "real" current status ?


Regards,
L'elfe

PS : I have downloaded the version 3.0.0.200 of library ahscript.dll, and set I on the folder C:\Program Files\ActiveHome Pro otherwise I couldn't even get a status "on" or "off", and I'm using VS2008

Most modules including the LM12F are not two way modules. They have no power line transmitter in them and can not report their status; with an X10 status request.

Your code is reporting the last Known status of a module though AHP.
