All
'Home Control' lamp/applicance plugin modules from Hombase on house code
'B'.
B2,8 -
bedroom
B3,4,5,6 - lounge (this is where 7243AH is & pronto
live)
Plus a
REX13 'robodog' on house code 'A1'
Thanks!
Craig
As
discussed with Mark ... let me sort you aout a CCF t try on your Pronto
first
- Do you use plug in lamp modules or LD10/11's? Can you give
me the address of a couple of lamps that you have in the same
room?
It
definitely does work without having t get CM12's and HomeVisions
involved!
Phil
PH>Also, make sure that there have been
no other transmissions of house/unit codes between the house/unit code for
the item that you want t control being issued from the Pronto and you hitting Dim/Bright as
then the Dim/Bright command will go t the wrong
device.
That may be it, I will unplug other
X10
devices to eliminate a noisy device. BUT 'Home Control' RF remotes/mini
timers work fine.
This may be my ignorance of X10, the
7243AH does not 'buffer' the commands, eg if I send B - 3 - On, it
will
send the 'B' as soon as it receives the B, then send the 3 when it receives
the '3', then send the On when it gets the On ??? Not as I assumed, it
would
buffer all three and send them as one
string/command???
mmm..
So its best t get the delay as short as
possible t avoid interference.
Maybe I will go about this a different way
with an IR device on the PC t receive IR and send X10 via PC X10 device,
that way ALL transmission will be from one source. Is this the right way t
go?
Thanks!
Craig
Do what I did when debugging mine ... make the delays about 1.5
seconds and close then down from there.
Also, make sure that there have been no other transmissions of
house/unit codes between the house/unit code for the item that you want t
control being issued from the Pronto and you hitting Dim/Bright as then
the Dim/Bright command will go t the wrong device.
(That was a real problem with my CCF originally as I found that
some Dim commands were being sent t the appliance module controlling my
video scaler rather than the LD10 controlling the
lights.)

Hi Craid,
I
have the same problem with mine I just recently bought.
It works
if you press the buttons in sequence but not in a button macro even with
0.2 seconds between commands.
Very frustrating t say the
least.

Hi All
Just received my 'All House' IR-X10 device from
LetsAutomate, and cant get the device t work via IR (Pronto).
All buttons on the on the IR7243AH work fine 100% of
the time (ie No IR) When I press house code on
remote, this works 100% of the time (one flash on LED)
When I press unit number on remote, this works 100%
of the time (two flashes on LED) However, when
I press on/off/dimmer buttons on pronto I only get it t work 10-20%
of the time, and LED only sometimes flashes.
I have tried the ccf's on the floppy, and downloaded some
others from remote central, same problem. I
have fully charged pronto, moved pronto t within feet of the
IR7243AH, same problem. I dont have a plasma
(yet!).
Im sure its something real simple,
and maybe one of you guys who has this device could point me to a
solution, or any tips, urls etc??
Is the
non-All House version more reliable?
TIA
Craig
