Title: Re: [ukha_d] Homevision Question!

Kenneth,

   All is possible....

   I assume you're simply doing a translation on the
housecode for the On  / Off control. The dim & bright commands are
sent without any associated unit code and operate on the last X10 device
that was addressed . So assuming that some of the other buttons on your
HR10 relate to the 'normal' house code (for reference let's suppose this is
A) ,then you need to kludge it a bit in HV. 

   Let's assume the HR10 is addressing A2 (phantom) as your
LD10 which is really in fact on B3. You need to keep a record (in a
variable) of the last 'A' unit code that was received by HV and if that
last code was for the LD10 (A2) then you need to resend any Dim or Bright
commands received on 'A' out on the LD10's housecode (B). The same number
of Dim or Brights should be sent. The record could just a flag if preffered
( A2 or NotA2).

   You could streamline this a bit by repeating any 'A' dim
or brights that HV sees immediately after having done your ON or OFF
translation up until any non A2 unit code is received - this avoids
monitoring continually. 

   There is also a potential problem that could crop up if
other devices exist on the B housecode. If one was addressed during this
sequence then the dim or brights would get diverted to the newly addressed
unit in error. You could if you were being thorough watch for and safeguard
against this too.

   You  must (of course) not have any real module on
the 'phantom' unit code A2.

   Hope that helps a tad 

   Kevin
