Kevin,
Thanks
I
understand that I need to tell HV that if a dim/bright command is sent to,
as
you say A2, then it actually relates to B3 and that that module should
receive
the appropriate X10 command. What I do not get is, after trawling through
the HV
manual, how I can physically program this to happen! The transfer of the
on/off
is easy and it’s done, what I’m stuck with is getting the HR10
or an SS13 to
relate the dim/bright function to any module other than the one that the
remote
switches are set for.
Any
chance
you could show me the commands that would accomplish what I want to
achieve.
I knew
someone had to have run up against the same problem
;o)
Thanks
K.

Question!
Kenneth,
All is possible....
I assume you're simply doing a translation on the
housecode
for the On / Off control. The dim & bright commands are sent
without
any associated unit code and operate on the last X10 device that was
addressed
. So assuming that some of the other buttons on your HR10 relate to the
'normal' house code (for reference let's suppose this is A) ,then you need
to
kludge it a bit in HV.
Let's assume the HR10 is addressing A2 (phantom) as your
LD10
which is really in fact on B3. You need to keep a record (in a variable) of
the
last 'A' unit code that was received by HV and if that last code was for
the
LD10 (A2) then you need to resend any Dim or Bright commands received on
'A'
out on the LD10's housecode (B). The same number of Dim or Brights should
be
sent. The record could just a flag if preffered ( A2 or NotA2).
You could streamline this a bit by repeating any 'A' dim
or
brights that HV sees immediately after having done your ON or OFF
translation
up until any non A2 unit code is received - this avoids monitoring
continually.
There is also a potential problem that could crop up if
other
devices exist on the B housecode. If one was addressed during this sequence
then the dim or brights would get diverted to the newly addressed unit in
error. You could if you were being thorough watch for and safeguard against
this too.
You must (of course) not have any real module on
the 'phantom'
unit code A2.
Hope that helps a tad

and Vodka have set in ;o) the on/off is the easy bit, got that no

it's the dim/bright I have a mental block about.
Can this be done; does anyone know how to do it? It just saves

programming, loading et all only to find out I'm a numpty and made a
boob!
Thanks folks
