W800RF32 and RFXCOM Users - Next release info

[Promixis]

For those of you using the the above RF Receivers the next G5 release will break your devices. :( This is necessary pain for future flexibility.

What the next release will look like....

1. Separation of RF devices into Transmitter and Receiver menus.

2. Support for both W800RF32 and RFXCOM Receiver (RFXCOM may not be fully operational yet)

3. Support for X10 RF Transmitters (ie. standard X10 type devices like motion sensors etc and security X10 devices ie the DS10A) This will require users to rebuild these device lists.

4. Support for RFXCOM Sensors. Basics in place. More coming

5. Support for other RF Tx devices like Visonic etc. Work in progress. These will require the RFXCOM receiver

6. Support for multiple RF Receivers. Will allow for multiple RF receivers even of the same kind.

hopefully a day or so

Is this fixed yet and if so where do I enter the DS10 information?

John

[Promixis]

yes - just open the component manager, enable the w800 under the rf receivers.

enable x10 transmitters component, enter your devices there.

I figured it out... had to install the generic serial plugin as well. Its all working fine. I can see the X10 events.

Ok... now I need a bit of help. On my Homeseer setup I have a script that is triggered by a motion sensor. The event basically turns on a light and after a specified period of time it shuts it off. However if there is another motion event it restarts the timer. So as long as someone is walking around the light will stay on but after no motion for the specified time it shuts the light off. I use it at several locations around the house. Its a great wife pleaser when she walks into the laundry room with her arms full and the lights turn on. I like it cause it shuts them off... hahaha

As always any help will be appreciated.

John,

Add a Lighting Action

Action/Device Manager/Lighting (from the left tree)

Select the device, select the time, turn off after x minutes only if no other events

From the logger, select the device manager sensor event (for your x10 motion sensor). attach this to the action you created

It does not show because the screen res is too low, change the res and it should be there.

Can anything be done about this, I see this a lot?

[jwilson56]
