510 unchecking x10 'save device condition' has no effect

or maybe I misunderstand how it works :-)

if I restart G5 and go to settings\device manager

the control status is whatever it was when G5 was stopped.

I don't see any difference

Marcel

[Promixis]

ok, maybe explain what behavior you are expecting?

[mhwlng]

When I start girder, and I go to settings\device manager

I would like my motion detectors to say

Controls\Condition 'unknown'

and my switches

Controls\Switch 'unknown'

So that any change to 'on' ,'off','Ready','Not Ready' will result in a DM event.

Currently, I only get a DM event if I send/receive a control value different from whatever it was when girder was stopped, which is undesirable, especially for motion detectors...

I'm not sure how you would mark the dimmer level as unknown.
I currently don't use any dimming functionality and have defined all my dimmers as switches anyway...

I see no change in 511 ? (I removed x10-work)

what does unchecking the 'save device condition' do ???

I always see in the console

LOG: Device Manager : 5 - Device: A7 Device SERVER\X10\A7 using saved device info.
false table: 01F69838
LOG: Device Manager : 5 - Device: B9 Device SERVER\X10\B9 using saved device info.
....

Mike, feel free to jump in at any time....

ok, i am sure this is fixed for the next release

I just looked at this in 515 and :

motion detectors (Type security\Sensor) now correctly return
Condition : Unknown at startup

but my lamps (Type Light\Switch) still return
Switch : Off , instead of Unknown at startup

'save device condition' is unchecked for all my X10 devices...

something is not right with the motion detectors either (in 515).

when the state of a motion detector is unknown at startup

and I move around for the first time after G5 startup, then the X10 event is triggered correctly (i.e. I see 'ON').

but the device manager event is the wrong way round (should be 'Condition=Not Ready'

when I force the state to OFF at startup by calling once

X10:ReceiveEvent ("B","1","OFF") -- office

(which changes 'unknown' to 'off')

and then move around, I see the correct behaviour :
