Hi I was wondering if there was a solution to this. All I want is to be able to trigger a series of events by sending a PLCBus code over the system. I know I might be able to do some of this with macros, but when the events I want to trigger are dependent on the time of day they won't work. Also if ...

I have somewhat refined the question. The RF sensors I have are X10 DM10 sensors. I have a X10 to PLCbus translator unit. To test that I can receive the DM10 signal using a PLCBus computer interface I set a PLCbus switch in Domotiga to the DM10 address. When I pressed the DM10 test button Domotiga c...

Hi all I am having trouble understanding some of the intricacies of using Domotiga (up to now I have used Powerhome2 with an X10 interface, but this is unreliable compared to the PLCBus interface and PH2 doesn't support the PLCBus interface). I have some external lights on PLCbus modules which are c...

Hi I have now had time to test the new code and it works very well switching 5 devices/lamps on with no errors. Well done on fixing this. But... I have now found a new timing problem. I use wireless remotes in my house to allow lights to be turned on and off in the conventional manner without going ...

Sorry for the delay, I've been kind of busy with my rehabilitation. I will test the new version over the next few days and report back

I thought about this but came up with a small problem. It is possible to address old X10 units using PLCBus interface and a translation unit. Waiting for old X10 units to ACK won't work. Not an insurmountable problem but one that needs considering

I have played a little more with the delay timing. For good measure I now have 4 actions turning on PLCBus devices, both dimmable lights and appliances. I found that with the SLEEP value set at 0.5 then the switching of four devices was very reliable, but with 0.4 it was only partially reliable, i.e...

I've had time to play with this problem some more. Following my hunch that it is a timing problem I added a delay into the code PUBLIC SUB WriteCommand(bBuffer AS Byte[], OPTIONAL sKey AS String) DIM bByte AS Byte DIM iCnt, iLoop AS Integer ' bControllerBusy = TRUE ' tPLCBUSBusy.Start IF NOT bPLCBUS...

I have also be playing with plcBus and have a similar problem with more than 2 actions in one event. I wondered if it was a timing problem so I put some pause action in between the actual plcbus actions, but this made no difference. I therefore decided to investigate the code so put some breakpoints...
