If I can log the received only signals, I may be able to find some

Paul,

How I'd do it (may be overkill, but as ever the tools I'm familiar
with are the quickest to deploy.)

1: Set up the Homevision xAP connector, which will take all the X10
messages incoming, and send them as xAP messages.

2: Set up the xAP Database logger, which will take all the xAP
messages and log them to a database.

Both are available for download from www.ascentium.co.uk\xap

Of course, this rather hinges on you having a database hanging about.
I use MySQL, which is very straightforward to download and set up.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mark
