x10 comm. "on" keeps repeating, "off" no problems *SOLVED*

[Uriel]

I have the ethernet RFXreciever/transmitter and it is working fine with the homeseer plugin.
I want to control all my X10 devices with RF and do not want to use the powerline due to to much interferance and problems because of it, sudden device going on/off etc.
In fact I am going over to Zwave, but still have some X-10 devices (LM15), various X10 RF remotes and still want to use those.

Now with the "output device" option in the RFXcom plugin I thought I would make a x10 control device so I can use the remote RF signals and HStouch with touscreen commands to control my X10 devices.
So far so good, it worked. But .... When I send the x10 "off" command the HSlog displays the recieving of 1x the off command, nice When I send the "on" command something strange happens, the "on" command is being send and displayed in the HS log but it doesn't stop! I send the command 1 time and I can see in the HS log the command is repeating and repeating even when I send "off" command in between, it doesn't stop. I have to remove the output device to make it stop sending the X10 command.

How is this possible? I hope anyone can help me. I have done a extended search on the net en have tried a lot but the problem remains. If this is solved I can disconnect the powerline plug of my CM15 and the interferance on the powerline net doesn't problem me anymore. I think it must be possible with the RFXcom.

The handshake must be enabled on the RFXCOM transmitter configuration. (is probably the case)

You probably have created a loop somewhere.
Leave the TM13 installed but remove the CM15. Not sure but I suppose the CM15 transmits the code again and creates a loop.
Disable the house code on the RFXCOM X10 config page used to control the Output devices. If you also have X10 remotes configure them on another house code.

Thanks for your quick reply!!

I have checked the handshake and indeed, it was enabled.
I do not have a TM13 in use anymore and to make sure the CM15 wasn't doing anything I completly disconnected it. I have also disabled the house code on the X10 config. I have not used the remote controls but only the status page of homeseer to switch on or off. Something is changed, the loop starts but after about 18 times repeating the "on" command it stops. Not always 18 times sometimes less, sometimes more.
So there is a start but it still is stranges that is sends some many "on" commands when I just send one.

The off command is stil the same, I "off" command send, 1 command recieved and proccesed by Homeseer, accoording to the logs.

Oke, I will mail the support about this. Thanks again for your help so far.

I've been searching a bit further a bit out of the box, I also have a W800 reciever with the AC-RF2 plugin, mainly for my alarm system (SC9000)
In this reciever you can change some options on a page called "housecodes" On the page you see all the housecodes with the options per housecode.
The "X10 Powerline Options, retransmit and emulate" are standard checked on. When I checked it of for my house code the problem was solved and just one RF transmit or push on the button via Homeseer results in on x10 code transmission in the log file.

So it works great now and does what it should do, it's always in the small details isn't it??
