Re: Stanley Garge Door Status Indicator

Sorry - that you are using another macro capable unit that can send extended
codes wasn't clear from your other posts.

Here's the info I published on the 30001, 30003. I have no idea whether it
applies to your hardware. Your macro capable transmitter may have no way to
define the Type 29 (1D hex) codes which were only used by Stanley.

If you can find someone who will part with a BX24-AHT (it was a DIY project
I designed), it could send the Type 29 codes. I'll probably include them in
roZetta, as well, although there probably aren't many people using them.

Stanley Homelink Garage Door Status Indicator
=============================================

The Homelink Garage Door Status Transmitters send RF commands to the Vehicle
Interface which then sends Type 29 (hex 1D) extended code commands over the
powerline to the Garage Door Status Indicator. The unit code of the Status
Indicator changes with the number of sensors.

Here's an example log snippet:

     17:57:56 RX: H5 Extended Data [10,1D]
     17:57:57 RX: H5 Extended Data [10,1D]
     17:58:01 RX: H5 Extended Data [11,1D]
     17:58:02 RX: H5 Extended Data [11,1D]

The first hex byte indicates which sensor is sending and the open/closed
state of the door(s). Bits 0-2 indicate the open/closed states and bits 4-6
indicate the active door sensor. In the above example, 10 indicates the door
is closed and 11 indicates the door is open.

With one sensor, the unit code is 1 and the possible codes are:

      Hex       Binary     Sender   State
     10,1D     0001 0000     1      CLOSED
     11,1D     0001 0001     1      OPEN

With two sensors, the unit code is 5:

      Hex       Binary     Sender   States 2, 1
     10,1D     0001 0000     1      CLOSED CLOSED
     11,1D     0001 0001     1      CLOSED OPEN
     12,1D     0001 0010     1      OPEN   CLOSED
     13,1D     0001 0011     1      OPEN   OPEN
     20,1D     0010 0000     2      CLOSED CLOSED
     21,1D     0010 0001     2      CLOSED OPEN
     22,1D     0010 0010     2      OPEN   CLOSED
     23,1D     0010 0011     2      OPEN   OPEN

With three sensors, the unit code is 9:

      Hex       Binary     Sender   States 3, 2, 1
     10,1D     0001 0000     1      CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED
     11,1D     0001 0001     1      CLOSED CLOSED OPEN
     12,1D     0001 0010     1      CLOSED OPEN   CLOSED
     13,1D     0001 0011     1      CLOSED OPEN   OPEN
     14,1D     0001 0100     1      OPEN   CLOSED CLOSED

     44,1D     0100 0100     3      OPEN   CLOSED CLOSED

     47,1D     0100 0111     3      OPEN   OPEN   OPEN

The Status Indicator requires that the sensors be "enrolled" by first
sending a signal to unit code 1 for the first sensor, then to unit code 5
for the second sensor, then to unit code 9 for the third sensor.

The RF signal from the sensor units appears to follow the same 32-bit format
used by other X-10 security RF transmitters with the exception that it
repeats immediately without the 40mS gap between copies used by most
transmitters.
