FW: Extended X10 via IR & Pronto

["Dean Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

I've just put together a very basic little application which will
generate
the required IR code to paste straight into Pronto Edit for any required
X10
Extended Command or Data codes.

When you send to the IR543AH2 you need to send

<House code>, <Unit Code>, <Ext Command Code>, <Ext
Data Code>

I've added discrete buttons for commands/data values I need. Then send
the
above combination via a dedicated button aliased to the individual
codes
required. Feel free to try it (though I'm not sure if anyone else has
the
upgraded firmware).

A while ago I posted asking for info re. sending extended X10 codes via
IR.
Well Kwong Li from Laser generously sent me an example of their
upgraded
firmware for the IR543AH which apparently they had been unable to get
working.

I installed the new firmware (a PIC replacement) on Saturday which was
relatively painless and after a couple of hours of googling, reading
and
experimention I managed to format the IR codes for my Pronto correctly
and
successfully sent extended codes to my LD11s for absolute dimming and
Instant On. (Extended code 49, data 0-63) :-). I'm currently unaware of
any
other extended codes to test but the firmware allows for any command or
data
value from 0 to 255 to be sent via IR and onto X10.

I currently have a spreadsheet to generate the required IR code strings
for
pasting into ProntoEdit but will hopefully produce a small application to
do
the same job a little less clumsily. I've forwarded the finer details
including some examples onto Laser so hopefully it should be available
shortly.....

Regards

Dean
