Re: W800RF32 Service Updated

["Bob Gardner" <gardner.bob@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank, Hi George,

This is Bob from the HV list.  I ordered my W800 a few days ago and
it's due today or tomorrow.  I'm ready to go.

I've been reading and trying to absorb this xPL stuff.  It looks like
I have to install xPL.ocx first - is that correct?  There are
apparently several different install options, how do I decide which
one I want?

Then after that I need to install xPLhal and finally the HV and W800
plugins.  Is that correct?

Anything else I need to know?

Finally, does the W800 plugin support the DS10a remote sensor
switches from X-10 yet?  I would like to use several of those right
away if possible.

Thanks for everything,

Bob
