RE: Baby paws?



Mark

That makes sense now.  Thanks for clearing that up.

What would happen if the "baby paws" was set a delay of 10
seconds and the
person ringing let the phone ring for say 18 seconds, would the macros
trigger more than once (I assume you only want them to trigger once).  If
this is true and you set the delay to say 25 seconds and two people phoned
within the 25 seconds would no macro trigger for the second call??

I'm going to be using it between the "Ring Indicator" pin on an
old
(therefore cheap) modem, and Homevision.

As such, when the phone starts rining, one of the HV input ports will go
high, trigerring a macro. When the phone stops ringig, the input port
will go low, triggering a different macro.

Without the device, the macros would all trigger on _each_ "bring
noise"
rather than just once.

Yes, I know I could sort this out with use of HV timers and flags, but
the device is so cheap that I'd rather pay for it than spend an evening
mucking around with HV programming.

I've just been reading the automatedhome news page and found "baby
paws".  What exactly could it be used for?  I'm sure there is a
feature
rich idea behind it, but I can't put my finger on what a device that
delays a signal would be useful for?

Am I missing something - please enlighten me

Cheers
Pedro
