Re: Fw: Fw: Comfort plugin

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Ah, right, yes I know what you mean now... My setup is exactly the same, -
you get 2 reports of any X10 activity, but as you say the Comfort event
does 
not update the X10 device's status in Homeseer, so you don't get 2 event
triggers...

It shouldn't be difficult to make these things selectable... I'll have a
look at a generic selection process for different types of event 
reporting...
