I just tried stopping xplhal, deleting x10cache.xml and then restarting
xplhal. This deleted all my x10 devices from xplhal manager.
I then recreated an x10 object and the status was unknown. I then
switched it off in xplmgr and clicked on refresh - and it then went back
to saying status unknown. Of note the xplcache file is not recreated
again until I shutdown xplhal - should this not be updated every time
there is a change or is it kept in memory?
I really hope I get to the bottom of this soon!
P.s. is anyone else running this successfully of NT4?
