I used a house code JUST for remotes for awhile and then mapped the
functions to other devices w/ MH.. since then I got the MR26a it's an RF
PC interface that will see all house codes from the remotes and then it
will set the devices to the state the remote commanded.. I still use a
house code for basic mapped commands but now I can also use one for my
motion detectors and not have to have a separate transceiver for each
house code.. I got mine from X10.com w/ a $20 voucher and a free motion
detector.. the price was $29 so it worked out really cheap.. (MAN I love
those vouchers)
