Re: Home Easy PC interface yet?

[Mal Lansell <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bye Bye Standby uses an older manual address-setting system (wheels
similar to X10).

Most HomeEasy transmitters send commands in a new protocol with
automatic address selection.  The Domia Lite transmitters that look the
same as HomeEasy ones actually transmit using the older manual protocol.

However, most HomeEasy receivers (dimmers etc) can be controlled by both
systems, and so will work with a Bye Bye Standby controller.

The differences are explained here:
