Hello
I can't see the unit code in the X10 controller composite property, when it receive signal from Tm751 via CM11a, i get A;*;On. In fact what was sent is A;2;On. So i can't treat the composite data. Anyone can help?

Martin,
I'm not sure why you are receiving the '*'. If you can send me a data trace of the CM11a, I'll try and look at the problem. To run the trace.
- From the HouseBot main menu, select 'Settings/Tracing...'.
- Press the 'Advanced' button.
- Select the name of the cm11a interface in the list (it will be prefixed with an asterisk).
- Select the 'File' checkbox and enter a file name in the edit field below (file name only).
- Press OK to dismiss all dialogs.
- Try and use the interface again. This should generate data in the log file.
- Turn the tracing off by returning to the 'Advanced' tracing dialog and removing the check by the 'File' option.
- Send the trace file to me at '[email protected]'. The file can be found in the HouseBot\Logs directory.

I was having the same problem with my MC460 mini controller. It seems to be some kind of timing issue. I normally press the unit code button then the on or off button to activate a task. If I press the buttons in rapid succession then it works. If I wait a second or two, I get the same result you do. For example if I quickly press 8 then On I get C;8;On but if I press 8, wait one second then press On I get C;*;On. Hope this helps.
