I think mine responds to A1 on and off. I have not tried any other code as
there is nothing plugged into it. It is set on P for the RF stuff.

My plan was to use the TM13U set to P - this would allow me to use RF for
all House Codes and allow HV to control the TM13U as a simple appliance
module (as code P1) - can this done .... as my TM13U doesn't work like
that?

Is the TM13 an "all housecode" one? If it is then what *SHOULD*
happen is
that the internal appliance module should respond to unit code 1 of
whatever
housecode is set on the dial *EXCEPT* for the "P" housecode where
the
internal appliance module will respond to unit code 1 of any housecode.

It should certainly be broadcasting the RF codes that it receives ...
Marks
suggestion of setting another AM12 module to the same houseode and
unitcode
1 is a good one.

Mark, It was an AW10 that wouldn't turn off ... not an AM12 ... the AW10
is
the wall switch. If it's not possible to turn the appliance off by X10
*AND*
>from
fault
however if the switch is only refusing to turn off by X10 then it is
likely
that the appliance connected to the switch is generating enough mains
noise
when "on" that it is masking any further X10 signals from
reaching the
switch.

As you say that it is both X10 and physical control that has broken down
then I'd suspect the switch - not sure whether it's from us or not (not at
work at the moment) but if it is then contact me by email at work (or
contact the dealer you bought it from) and arrange for a replacement.
