Too many lights responding to command
« on: December 28, 2015, 12:45:00 PM »

I am using a CM15A linked to a RPi running HomeGenie.  I have a number of MS16A motion sensors outside used to trigger logic within HG that will turn lights on.  I noticed recently that when I walk past a motion sensor (O3) that HG sees the command and issues a command for the correct light to turn on (A8, A ON).  However, I have been seeing lights in my back yard (A2, A3, A4) turn on with this command.  My first thought was that perhaps HG was sending an AON command first and then sending an A8 followed by AON, but I don't see that in my log files (I don't think anyway).  So, is there any way that modules could ignore an AON or AOFF in resetting which modules should be listening?

My understanding is that if I issue:
Code: [Select]
A2
A3
A4
AON
that the modules A2-A4 will turn on.  If I issue:
Code: [Select]
AOFFOnly those modules should turn off.
If I then issue:
Code: [Select]
A8
AON
Only A8 should respond by turning on.

The following is a set of commands that were issued from HG that I'm having trouble decoding.  The part I'm having issue with is the X10 hex, not the HG formatted response.  This shows RF coming in, decoding to O3, O ON.  Then, the code is supposed to turn on A8.  The hex 55 is an acknowledge between the CM15A and HG which must be seen to know the command was successful.
Code: [Select]

I did some testing to exclude the software.  I am fairly confident that although the software is reporting the correct commands in the correct order, I believe the software is sending commands out of order sometimes for an as of yet unknown reason.  If it turns out to be hardware related, I'll certainly be back with more details and hopefully get things resolved.
