Yes, I used 2 PC's simultaneously:
one running the X10 log from Activehome and the second
running Hyperterminal to drive the TW7223. Sending the Hail request through
the TW7223 gave the same result on both PC's.
I suppose the house code has to be there so that the command has the
correct
number of bit's but these are ignored because the purpose of Hail request
is
to
find already used housecodes so that you can use a free one.
Just noticed now that it's NOT the CM itself wich is responding but the
Activehome software wich was configured for housecode A, changed
this setting to F and I now receive a Hail ack for F.
