Fw: XBOX - HA for Power ? Works !

For that reason, it's Xecutor 2. It just doesnt need the X3 stuff.

Im Comfort, you can specify how many chunks of 50mseconds to apply the
relay to. So you could easily support X3 if you already have it. Might be
tricky to align the CBUS on/off status to the xbox itself - ie if you
turned the xbox off at the front button or it was turned off by software,
you'd need to sync that with the CBUS value.

Nice!  If the xbox is modded how have you accomodated for the different
amounts of time the on switch can be pressed to enter different bios
modes?
