Fw: Unrecognised X-10 log entries

Wait till it's very dark, then stand
outside and send all the x10 on and off commands you can - see what happens
(not to your own house)

Category:

Hi,

Today my X-10 activity log had some strange entries which I don't recognise:

09/05/02 09:19:26  Backing up database...
09/05/02 10:18:56  Received All Units Off for housecode D
09/05/02 10:18:57  A Hail Request command was received on housecode "A"
09/05/02 10:18:57  Received All Units Off for housecode O
09/05/02 10:18:57  Received All Units Off for housecode M
09/05/02 10:19:26  Backing up database...
09/05/02 11:19:26  Backing up database...
09/05/02 12:03:32  Received ON command for B1
09/05/02 12:04:01  Received ON command for B1
09/05/02 12:19:04  Received All Units Off for housecode D
09/05/02 12:19:05  A Hail Request command was received on housecode "A"
09/05/02 12:19:05  Received All Units Off for housecode O
09/05/02 12:19:05  Received All Units Off for housecode M
09/05/02 12:19:26  Backing up database...
09/05/02 13:19:27  Backing up database...

OK, as I am testing the whole setup gradually, the only units I
currently have connected are as follows:

CM12U connected to laptop (on 24/7)
XM10U connected to Visonic Powermax alarm panel; panel set to housecode B
Appliance module (driving indicator lamp to show alarm is armed); Code B1

The alarm panel was armed shortly after 12 (the dual B1 ON commands)
but the other commands for housecodes D,A,O & M are a complete
mystery. The sequence of four commands appearing immediately after
each other appear at almost exactly two hours apart. They didn't
appear at 14:19 - but could that be becasue the alarm system was
disarmed by then?

I don't even know yet what a 'Hail Request' command is!

I'd be grateful for any suggestions here...

By the way, I'm not aware of any neighbours running X-10.

Thanks!

Nic
