X10 commands not working for me from iLinc
Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 7:58 pm
Greetings,
I'm looking for some help using iLinc with X10. It does not work for me. I've tried two different devices, an EZRAin sprinkler timer, and an Insteon Dimmer switch. In both cases iLinc will not control them (neither on nor off) but the X10 remote I have does. I noticed in the SDM logs that the X10 remote and iLinc software communicate a different set of commands for the same action F1 on/off etc. Below is the SDM output from each controller (the X10 remote and the iLinc software). Is there something I need to set on the SDM to get iLinc to work with my X10 devices?
These are sent to an Insteon EZRain sprinkler timer:
X10 remote F1 ON (this works)
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=00 96
PLC:receiveX10=F1
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=01 92
PLC:receiveX10=F On
PLC:eventraw=02
PLC:eventraw=03
PLC:receiveinsteonraw=02 0C B2 7D 04 00 00 8F 27 80
X10 remote F1 Off (this works)
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=00 96
PLC:receiveX10=F1
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=01 93
PLC:receiveX10=F Off
PLC:eventraw=02
PLC:eventraw=03
PLC:receiveinsteonraw=02 0C B2 7D 04 00 00 8F 27 00
iLinc F1 On (no response from remote device)
ui:ResponseF1:sendX10=F1,FON
PLC:ResponseF1:sendx10=True,F1,FON
uifinished:ResponseF1:sendX10=F1,FON
iLinc F1 Off (no response from remote device)
ui:ResponseF1:sendX10=F1,FOFF
PLC:ResponseF1:sendx10=True,F1,FOFF
uifinished:ResponseF1:sendX10=F1,FOFF
These were sent to an Insteon Dimmer switch. For some reason the commands are different than for the EZRain, which I don't understand X10 does not care what type of device it's controlling does it? In either case the results were the same.
X10 remote F15 On (this worked)
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=00 94
PLC:receiveX10=F15
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=01 92
PLC:receiveX10=F On
X10 remote F15 Off (this worked)
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=00 94
PLC:receiveX10=F15
PLC:eventraw=08
PLC:receiveX10raw=01 93
PLC:receiveX10=F Off
iLinc F15 On (no response from remote device)
ui:ResponseF15:sendX10=F15,FON
PLC:ResponseF15:sendx10=True,F15,FON
uifinished:ResponseF15:sendX10=F15,FON
iLinc F15 Off (no response from remote device)
ui:ResponseF15:sendX10=F15,FOFF
PLC:ResponseF15:sendx10=True,F15,FOFF

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated.
