Re: Probe Hub Update

["David Anumudu" <david.anumudu@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank
For a moment there i thought we had the x10 Holy Grail...
I dont think it would work to monitor the length of the key press, as you
know the brightness follows a 'sine wave' pattern when the key is held
down,
plus momenary presses toggle off and on, but also stop the ramping up/down
if repeated.
i can see problems though with this method losing sync with the real status
of the ld11, the whole scheme would be based on trying to replicate the
functionality of the ld11 in software to try and predict what its
brightness
level is , which sounds like a nightmare to me.. could the
resistance/impedance or whatever it is be measured across the ld11 to
calculate its dim value / on/off status reliably? or am i talking complete
nonesense :-)
cheers
David

Hi David
I probably should clarify my idea of monitoring the LD11
status...My intension was to monitor the momentry switch which i believe
turns the module on 100% or 0%....i would not intend to monitor the actual
brightness %  ..I m assuming hv would be able to do this and it would only
be a problem it the power was turned off then on ??..If theres enough
interest for the momentry monitoring then i will have a look at
it......Probably a din rail version of the Probe zone Monitor...

Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank
i would be very interested in this, all of the x10 issues would disappear
if
i could just read what those pesky ld11s are actually doing..
cheers
