Re: Possible bug in xPLHVision

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

I've run into another anomaly that I thought I should report here.
This occurs when using the wizard to create determinators in the
xPLHal Manager.  When creating actions, once I choose gshed-hvision
and then 'transmit an X10 command', I get a drop down box to enter an
X10 command.  If I choose Force On then I get another box to enter
the Device.  This is great and the determinator works.  However if I
choose either on, off, or force off, I get a box to enter the Device
but I also get another box to enter a House Code.  I can't leave this
blank so I enter the current House Code and then can exit.  If I then
try to execute this action, it won't run.  If I go into the
determinator and edit it to remove the House Code parameter,
everything works correctly.

Any comments or thoughts?  Anyone else noticed this?
