Re: [mh] xPL problem sending on wrong interface

Gregg,

This sounds great. The xPLZWave utility does support the lighting schema
as well as many others. I'm not sure at this point whether the lamp modules
I have support scenes but then again I have yet to utilize that on any of my lighting.

Let me know how/if I can help...
