Elro AB440S, RFXCOm & Homeseer

Probably this problem is already mentioned on this forum, but I can not figure this one out and it is making me insane....

I have 3 Elro AB440S Switch Unit's with an Elro AB440R remote control working perfectly fine. I downloaded RFXmngr when I received my RFXcom transceiver and installed it. When I make contact with the unit and select the lighting 1 tab, select ELRO AB400D at Type, House Code A and unit Code 3 for instance and give the ON command the unit switches on. Offcourse when I give the Off command the unit switches off. No problem their....

The problem comes when I want to integrate these switches in Homeseer. I go to the RFXcom plugin tab in Homeseer and select Output Dev. I select add and then try to add the switch. The problem is that I cannot select for instance ELRO AB400D at Device ID. I tried Flamingo, X10 Module, ARC Module etc and gave the A3 as the HS Unit Code. The Appliance will not turn on. The logfile says On/Of correctly but nothing happens. But when it is in Flamingo mode, the log file says the unit does not exist.

Who could help me further? Thanks!

The AB400 must be configured as a FLAMINGO Module.

Enable debug level 2 for the transmitter on the RFXCOM General config page.
send an ON command for the AB400 A3 unit.

Please send the following to RFXCOM support:
the full HS log file
indicate how the switches in the AB400 module are configured
a screen shot from the Output device configuration.
