RE: Unrecognised X-10 log entries

["Stainton-James, Mark (London)" <stainmar@xxxxxxx>]

Something odd is going on with your configuration.  If you have B1 set
for
the arming/disarming option.  You should see a B1 ON command for
arming and
a B1 OFF command on disarming.  I can't see any B1 OFF commands, but
the
alarm was off by 14:19.

My guess is that you have two conflicting triggers on the PowerMax. My
thinking is this. Say for example you have a PIR set to send via PowerMax
on
B2 and inadvertently on B3. When the PIR is triggered the PowerMax has
two
send both commands simultaneously and gets confused.

The thing with PowerMax that was not immediately obvious to me is that
when
you setup triggers you can have multiple trigger types per Housecode so
for
example:

B1  Arm/Disarm,  Zone a=7 , Zone b=5, Time=12-2pm

I thought that when you changed the trigger from one sort to another
the
previous one was cancelled, but this is not the case, and got me into
the
situation of PowerMax trying to do 2 things at once.

Hope this helps

My Powermax only sends 1 command when armed/disarmed. The fact that
yours
sends 2 commands roughly 30 seconds apart seems suspicious. As the
spurious
X10 info is only sent when the alarm is armed, I would think it a
fairly
safe bet that it is that causing the problem. Ideally you could try
another
XM10U first to rule that out. Perhaps a reset of the Powermax? (don't
know
how you would go about that though)
