I don't think I saw this e-mail. I'm happy to look at ratification of a xAP
1.3 spec.

this...<br>
<br>
There have a been a few posts re this on the lists but its woeful
that<br>
we still haven&#39;t got a published xAP v1.3 spec. &nbsp;
&nbsp;I only got one reply<br>
(from James) &nbsp;to my last direct email to everyone with the
outline<br>
changes that I thought were in the spec :-( &nbsp; &nbsp;Having
said that there<br>
are a lot of application out there now implementing xAP v1.3 and I
ahve<br>
tried to ensure with the developers thay they all meet the spec - or
at<br>
least my interpretation of it ;-) &nbsp; &nbsp;We do need to get
this documented<br>
and published !<br>
<br>
Re BSC v1.4 - or at least an addendum to BSC1.3 to handle xAP v1.3
UID&#39;s<br>
- again we need to do this although I hope it&#39;s fairly obvious -
you<br>
just need to cope with the longer UID&#39;s &nbsp;that xAP v1.3
&nbsp;supports.<br>
ID=xxxx ID=xxxxxx etc . &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In BSC v1.4 there
has been the ongoing talk<br>
about a &#39;choice&#39; device and Edward and I are both using his
suggested<br>
way of implementing this - and it is in the released HouseBot
plugin.<br>
We have not persued an actual menu structure type treatment of this
-<br>
which is something that you might like for your switches, &nbsp;this
probbaly<br>
should be its own schema. I know IanB was looking at this.<br>
<br>
There are some clarifications we need to make to the existing BSC
v1.3<br>
spec as it is ambiguous in some areas. &nbsp;I&#39;m happy to work
with you on<br>
this and the xAP v1.3 spec if you wish ??<br>
