Re: Stanley Garge Door Status Indicator

[Brian Allston <bka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The sensor does not transmit the message in my case.  The sensor (a
simple magnetic switch) is wired to the Powerflash module contacts.  THe
Powerflash then transmits the X-10 message that triggers a macro.  That
macro turns on other lights in the garage dor a set duration and sounds a
chime in the house.  The same macro is triggered by a motion detector in
the garage.  Now I want to add the status indicator function to the mix.
