RE: Re: newbie help with IR-X10

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Could this have something to do with the "direct" X10 commands
which don't
need a unit code sent before them but where the unit code is embedded in
the
command itself?

This X10 by IR/RF is something that myself and Ian B are going to be
looking
into t morrow and I'm hoping that I can clarify my understanding on how the
commands work so maybe I'll be able to thow in some more ideas later. I
know
that I have one of the pages from the IR543AH floppy CCFs as a macro screen
on my Pronto and I alias t  that. I needed the delays on my old IR543 so
they're still in there. I can try removing the delays this evening to see
if
they do still work without them.
