Hi John

Copied your script and now have the cbus loads status loctated in globals,
I
thought a recurring event would have to be created which would call the
script to update the load status but it appears the script is running in
the
background ????.......

Noticed my cbus messages slow coming thru again so i restarted xpl-cgate
and
that seems to sort it out for a while ??? look as if a buffer is full  and
by restarting clears the buffer??
The exclude file might be handy after all .......

Was playing around creating some cbus determinators and created one called
"all lights on " using the "Area" but forgot that one
of my relay outputs is
used to turn on the alarm so when i opened the back door at 10pm last night
the alarm went off ;-(( Wife was not too impressed...

them quite well with the friendly descriptions that you assign.
