Re: xPL C-Gate

["Rob Kearns" <robkearns@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

First off I want to get Comfort controlling the porch light to turn
it on and off using the input from the light sensor. I haven't got
everything install and finished yet so it will be a few weeks before
I can really start to play with it. But I did manage to turn lights
on and off using the 'send xPL message' in XplHal so I know that all
works. What do you need to do to get all events from the C-Bus
network to appear as events in xPLHal?

A related question, is it possible to reconfigure C-Bus switches
dynamically. What I want to do is have some switches behave
differently depending on the time of day etc, e.g. the landing light
turn on at 20% after midnight.

Thanks
Rob
