Alistair,

The .net X10 connector is two-way so it should behave as you describe.
It'd be helpful if you could take a look at the log file that it produces,
commlog.txt which you will find alongside the plugin dll. This documents
al=
l
the interactions with the CM11.

One comment on your message below: you say, "this would then toggle
the G1
light and turn it off", it would turn it on (maybe that's just a
typo), and
there's no 'toggle' function, you have to send 'command=3Don' and
'command=3Doff' explicitly.

I'm now going to go and plug my X10 stuff together and check it out - I've
still not unpacked from UKHA04!

Hi.

been toying with xAP for a while, but am actually trying to make use=20
of it now.
I had used patricks Linux xAP X-10 connector, but now I have migrated=20
the server over to windows I'm looking at the .NET stuff, but I cant=20
seem to figure out the 'new' x10 connector!

with patricks proggy i send (something simular to) :

xap-header
{
v=3D12
hop=3D1
uid=3DFF123400
class=3Dxap-x10.request
source=3Dhome.webserver.php
target=3DERSP.X10.kevin
}
xap-x10.request
{
command=3DOn
device=3DG1
}

this would then toggle the G1 light and turn it off. but with=20
the .net connector nothing seems to be sent to the powerline (G1=20
stays off), but i do get an x10-event message back.

xap-header
{
v=3D12
hop=3D1
uid=3DFF182000
class=3DxAP-X10.Event
source=3DERSP.X10.kevin
}
xAP-X10.Event
{
command=3DOn
device=3DG1
}

which is exactly the same as the connector sends when i put an x10=20
command on the powerline.

is this functioning correctly? does the connector not pass on xAP >=20
x10 messages?

I am pretty sure that the connecter is talking to the CM12U as it=20
sends a message when i send an x10 command...  Im using the xFX=20
Message viewer on my PC to see the messages.

Well if you need any more further info, please ask!

Thanks Guys,

Alistair
