#14 CM11A internally-stored timer events, not seen in MisterHous
Using a just-purchased CM11A and just-downloaded
version of MisterHouse, all
seems to work well except X-10 commands issued by
CM11A from its internally-
stored timer events do not show up in the logs in
MisterHouse and do not show
indicated in the MH status of X-10 items.
(The controlled devices do however go on and off as
commanded).
I have a suspicion this is a similar matter as discussed
below, but not sure.
Has anyone resolved this (either the item above or
below)?
I am running Windows 98 SE.

never a

This is a "feature" of the CM11A. An X10 power line
signal which triggers a
macro
stored in the CM11A"s EEPROM is not reported back to
the system. The only
thing reported is that a macro at EEPROM address NNN
has been executed.
It is possible to reconstruct the signal if the EEPROM
memory image is
preserved
in a file, but a MH script would have to be written to do
the "reverse
lookup".
The latest alpha release of the program "heyu2" (for
Linux/OS X/various
Unixes)
does this when it uploads a schedule to the EEPROM.
