No, you will only get "Housecode Status On" or "Housecode Status Off".
However, with extended codes, you can get a response from the LM14A that
identifies the device.

I will repeat my earlier suggestion that many of the Smarthome made
Lamplincs and Switchlincs will respond to Status Request with the actual
level as well as report all changes.

They can all be configured to respond to X-10 signals.
