Status Request

Hello X10 community

I am using x10 Active homepro with Smart Macros, My House On line and On Alert. When I review my activity log I am noticing that status request keeps appearing. Is that the computer checking on the status of the security modules? Any info concerning this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The status request is not from the security modules.

I believe this occurs when you have a 2-way module selected for a device in AHP.

I don't think that AHP generates any Status Requests, just for fun.  I mean, it doesn't just check periodically all the 2-way modules status to verify it knows the correct state, just in case.

I kind-of liked the way the CM14A's worked, in that the CM14A would do a Status Request if you used a 2-way module in a macro conditional.

My thoughts were in reference to security and active homepro requesting a status check because I know that every hour the DS10A and MS10A modules report there status. If these modules are utilized with a PS 561 and they do not report,  it turns on a trouble light to let you know to check the unit attached to that zone. I am not using a PS561 at this time but felt like the software might have intergrated some of that technology. Any further input would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely

The DS10A and MS10A don't have a receiver in them to respond to a Status Request. I believe the firmware in them; just sends a message periodically and if the console doesn't see one in four hours. Flags a trouble in that zone. Maybe one of the plug ins is doing something.
