RE: Re: newbie help with IR-X10

[Craig Callander <craig@xxxxxxx>]

I cant do either of the following:

1. macro with pauses (tried 0.1 - 1.0 sec <house code - pause - unit
number
- pause - on/off)
2. pressing keys manually in sequence (slowly and fast - I assumed this
would work as I read Mark's review on the website)

Either 1 or 2 only works say 10%-20% of the time.

What I dont understand is buttons on 7243AH work 100% of time. So I can
only
guess the IR interface is not actually 'pressing' the buttons on the
7243AH.

Should I have purchased the non-AH version? Is that more reliable??

Maybe its because I didnt purchase my pronto from Letsautomate or Laser :),
and these non-lets/laser prontos are incompatable with the AH device, or
need a different CCF file?? Mine is a Philips SBC RU890/00S purchased about
a year ago, with sys v3.62 and app v4.85.

If I can get this to work, I WILL purchase another pronto from Lets/Laser
;)

Thanks your responses!

Craig

Can't understand this.  In my review I have a line that you don't
need ANY pause between commands.  According t  Laser nothing has
changed in the firmware.

Will have a look at mine tonight.
