Re: x10 connector and state unknown!

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

aiui, you will get an unknown state until a device is controlled ( by
xAP or x10).  The trouble is that the connector cannot query the current
state of a x10 device at startup and as it doesn't know the state it
reports state as unknown.  As soon as it sends an x10 command to the
unit, or hears an x10 command sent to the unit, the connector would now
know the state and you should find the sate becoming Onoff in the xAP
messages
