Re: [mh] X-10 extended code type 0 with CM11

[Jan S. <jan...@gm...>]

Hi David,

thank you for your answer. An instance of *X10_Item* with a configuration
string */&P(\d+)/* produces X10 extended command *type 3* (lines 235 through
266 of ControlX10::CM11 as distributed in MH-2.105). As I wrote in my
original question, I need to produce X10 extended code *type 0*. Based on my
quick initial review of the code I fear that *ControlX10::CM11* cannot
produce X10 extended code type 0. But I wonder why *%table_fcodes*(in
ControlX10::CM11) features the EXTENDED_CODE entry. And that's why I
posted my question on this forum.

Best Regards,
Jan
