Re: xPL-FirM-Schema

Hi Mal
Thanks for replying........
Firstly FirM was designed as an "Addon" for Homevision ....and
Homevision
encodes and decodes ALL ir signals ...all FirM does is 1: direct the
transmitted ir (from homevision  / usb uirt)
to the required zone........2: Informs  Homevision when requested which
zone
sent ir...........

> 1) have the FirM controller send an xpl_trig message, containing the
zone

FirM Can only give Zone info only ....Homevision / usb uirt  receive ir
message and decode....
Unable to send a trig message due to current FirM hardware......It uses 3
pins (bcd) for zone identification and will update the pins when ir is
received but relies on Homevision / usb uirt to read the pins when required
.....Homevision  / usb uirt may not require  zone info.........

Hopefully thats what im doing with the xpl message below...........the
zoning schemas in the xpl docs seem to confuse me .....
