RE: Status response on LD10's WAS A10 X10

["Steve Cooper" <steve.cooper@xxxxxxx>]

Thinking out loud here but does this sound feasible.

Connect some relays in parellel with the light output from the AD10/LD10's
and feed the status of these into Homeseer or HomeVision.  Only problem is
when they dim the voltage drops so you would need relays that switch in the
0-240v range.

Problem is an LD10 receives only and does not send, so you can never
presume a state. =A0All you can do is send an OFF command first, then you
will at least be starting from a known point=A0 -of course the downside we
all have is your front room could end up flashing like a disco.



You could however make a further assumption by saying that IF it is daytime
then the chances are the light is currently turned off, in which case you
could send the OFF command first, then make the assumption that IF it is
Nighttime then it will be dark and the chances are the light will be ON, in
which case you could send the on command to get your starting position.
This may reduce the disco effect some what :)

What I would like is a way to update HomeSeer when I manually switch an
LD10 on or off i.e. status response.

How do others get around this problem?

Good, better than nothing...but still no lamp controller which is the
one I certainly would have more interest in, especially with "status
response" in the firmware.

One thing though....the price!
