Well, at least I am not the only one!

Figured that out for myself after a while of scanning seemingly empty fora.
Seems to default to that setting, too.  I suppose I'll get the hang of it
eventually.  In this case, the information's valuable enough to me to make
it worth the search.  Right now I am trying to understand Guy L's voltage
divider scheme to read multiple inputs for SECU modules.  Lots of
interesting code snippets but ladder logic seems like the antithesis of
structured programming.  It's hard for me, a very casual programmer, to
assimilate.

But like it or not, I've determined that whatever I do, it's got to be in
C-MAX.  I may hate it, but it's clearly the language of choice in Ocelot
programming AND it requires no PC running 24X7 to keep it alive.  HomeSeer
was very attractive for a while, but it requires a PC running MS SW.  C-MAX
will allow the HA system to run on battery power long after any PC running
from the same AH-rated battery has died.  With several, recent sustained
power outages, extreme energy efficiency has become a real factor in my
planning.

If you separate HA functions into human brain categories, the Ocelot is like
the lizard brain, working automatically to maintain a certain internal
environment.  Now to learn enough C-MAX to become the Lizard King!
