James' plugin is sending the bad data, however I did try my own send
command. I am off on business right now, so I suppose I will play more when
I get back.

Well spotted Kevin. It should be 'device' not 'house' coming out of
homeseer.

Jeremy - a useful tool to  have is xAPSend from xAPFramework.net that
allows
you to send xAP messages from a text file. Very handy for isolating
problems.

Hi
I dont use an x-10 connector but  I guess you are using a script or
event in Homeseer.

The X-10 schema says

xap-x10.request
{
command=(all_lights_on  all_lights_off  all_units_off)
-- mandatory
device=(X10 house code being addressed A-P)
-- mandatory
}


ie device=

not house=

HTH
Kevin
