RE: Status reporting (was Ceiling Lights & Local Control)

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    Just to mention that the TM12U's (Transceiver modules) effectively act as Appliance modules and they do have status reporting - (although they are prone to locking up due to a manufacturing/design problem). They don't send status change however if toggled locally by the switch on the front though.

Hi Luc,

I think you'll probably find that if the price is right, there probably
would be a fair bit of interest. There's no prospect in sight (or so it
would seem) of X10 modules with Status reporting being available anytine
soon, and if the new A10 modules are anything to go by, anything that does
come along will probably be at a hefty price hike.

A circuit that could be produced for about a fiver would certainly get some
interest from me!
