As discussed with Mark ... let me sort you aout a CCF t try on your Pronto first - Do you use plug in lamp modules or LD10/11's? Can you give me the address of a couple of lamps that you have in the same room?
 
It definitely does work without having t get CM12's and HomeVisions involved!

PH>Also, make sure that there have been no other transmissions of house/unit codes between the house/unit code for the item that you want t control being issued from the Pronto and you hitting Dim/Bright as then the Dim/Bright command will go t the wrong device.
 
That may be it, I will unplug other X10 devices to eliminate a noisy device. BUT 'Home Control' RF remotes/mini timers work fine.
 
This may be my ignorance of X10,  the 7243AH does not 'buffer' the commands, eg if I send B - 3 - On, it will send the 'B' as soon as it receives the B, then send the 3 when it receives the '3', then send the On when it gets the On ??? Not as I assumed, it would buffer all three and send them as one string/command???
 
mmm..
 
So its best t get the delay as short as possible t avoid interference.
 
Maybe I will go about this a different way with an IR device on the PC t receive IR and send X10 via PC X10 device, that way ALL transmission will be from one source. Is this the right way t go?
 
Thanks!

Do what I did when debugging mine ... make the delays about 1.5 seconds and close then down from there.
 
Also, make sure that there have been no other transmissions of house/unit codes between the house/unit code for the item that you want t control being issued from the Pronto and you hitting Dim/Bright as then the Dim/Bright command will go t the wrong device.
 
(That was a real problem with my CCF originally as I found that some Dim commands were being sent t the appliance module controlling my video scaler rather than the LD10 controlling the lights.)

Hi Craid,

I have the same problem with mine I just recently bought.

It works if you press the buttons in sequence but not in a button macro even with 0.2 seconds between commands.

Very frustrating t say the least.

Hi All

Just received my 'All House' IR-X10 device from LetsAutomate, and cant get the device t work via IR (Pronto).
All buttons on the on the IR7243AH work fine 100% of the time (ie No IR)
When I press house code on remote, this works 100% of the time (one flash on LED)
When I press unit number on remote, this works 100% of the time (two flashes on LED)
However, when I press on/off/dimmer buttons on pronto I only get it t work 10-20% of the time, and LED only sometimes flashes.

I have tried the ccf's on the floppy, and downloaded some others from remote central, same problem.
I have fully charged pronto, moved pronto t within feet of the IR7243AH, same problem.
I dont have a plasma (yet!).

Im sure its something real simple, and maybe one of you guys who has this device could point me to a solution, or any tips, urls etc??

Is the non-All House version more reliable?

TIA

Craig
