that's similar to what I have set up.. in fact before the MR26a I had all the remotes on house code P and a RF receiver set up on P then I press the palm pad button receiver gets it, puts it on the power lines where MH sees it via the CM11 and then activates the appropriately coded event which is then sent out to the desired device.. NOW it works like this.. or I want it to anyway.. I select the house code of the intended device on my remote.. press the button.. the MR26a receives the RF transmission, MH sees that there is data coming from the MR26a and then turns the device on or off via the CM11.. this doesn't happen.. it never sends the commands back out to the power lines.. so I basically have this happening.. RF palmpad-> MR26a -> MH... dead end.. I need some code in MH that will send the command via the power lines to the device.. I think I know where it should go bu I don't know how to manipulate the data stream MH sees.. I guess I need a command that basically like this set $housecode $unitcode ON; # or off/dim/brighten/whatever Damon Hopkins Carl Friedberg wrote: > > Jeff, > > I think the reason lots of folks are turning to the MR26A is the slow > response from remote to receiver to computer, back to CMxx, back to > device.
