I recently discovered that the Smarthome Switchlinc relay 2-way modules
send unique X10 data for double tap and triple tap. Cool, I thought,
and tried to add some code to do different things depending on how many
"taps" I used. Unfortunately I can't get it working. The manual for
the module says:
When the top rocker is tapped twice the PLC transmission is: Housecode &
Unit Code (once) Housecode & ON (twice)
I assume that means that if the module was using address A10 I would get
X10 data like XAAAJAJ
Likewise when the top rocker is tapped three times the PLC transmission
is: Housecode & Unit Code (twice) Housecode & ON (3 times)
I assume that means that if the module was using address A10 I would get
X10 data like XAAAAAJAJAJ
So I expected that if I set a serial item to "XAAAJAJ" I could use
state_now on that item to do something when I receive a double tap on.
Unfortunately none of this seems to work. Instead I get this in the
logs when I double tap on:
07/03/08 11:50:25 PM XAA: Kitchen_WS manual
07/03/08 11:50:25 PM X10: Incoming data=XAA
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Incoming data=XAJ
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Merged string data=XAAAJ
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Event found for merged data=XAAAJ
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM XAAAJ: Kitchen_WS on
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Incoming data=XAAAJ
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Merged string data=XAAAAAJ
07/03/08 11:50:26 PM X10: Duplicate data ignored data=XAJ time=428.91015625
Everything looks like it is going good until the "merged string
data=XAAAAAJ" log entry. Where did the two extra AA's come from? And
why is the second "XAJ" being ignored even though I have an "XAAAJAJ"
serial item that should match?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
