Thanks for the highlight, I missed that stuff. That looks quite exactly
what i'm looking for.

So, if I clearly decode both mails, you say I should use BSC for this
kind of devices. This is used for X10 in the new version .. but there
is something that sound strange.

If every device use a BSC schema, how could you know the type of device,
as every device has the same class. This could cause issues for example
to build a GUI or anything else, or is there a new X10 schema with a BSC
like behaviour ?


Thanks
