Re: HomeSeer and XAP level variables

["estratos_74" <dberenguer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's all right James. I just wanted to be sure about this. Anyway, I
don't think it's so important the scale except for dimming lights.
I'm thinking more in field devices. A XAP device can always manage
analogue values forgeting the scale. Bearing in mind that the scale
is imposed by the BSC schema, I understand perfectly the need of
using a 0-100 scale in HomeSeer.

On the other hand, I guess it's not a good idea using the text key
instead of the level key. In a perfect environment, every
application and device must know what others are talking about.

Thank you very much,

Daniel.
