description:<br>&gt; 1) I think someone else addressed this as
well, xAP messages seem to <br>&gt; get converted to lower

<br>&gt; 2) When setting up a homeseer event, you should be able
to select <br>&gt; device status change, then use &quot;set
to on&quot; or &quot;changed to on&quot; or <br>&gt;
whichever.&nbsp; Homeseer adds a lightbulb next to a device that adds
the
<br>&gt; word &quot;on&quot; or &quot;off&quot;
however this trigger does not actually work for xAP <br>&gt;
devices.&nbsp; However the &quot;Set Any Status&quot; option
does work.&nbsp; Could this <br>&gt; be a homeseer problem?
not a xAP plugin problem?
<br>&gt;<br>&gt; 3) When sending a raw xAP message from
an event, there is a textbox to <br>&gt; enter in a Class,
however this value does not save.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; 4)
When setting a device value change trigger, all xAP devices show up
<br>&gt; a value &quot;mathmatical comparison&quot; and a
textbox.&nbsp; I've seen other <br>&gt; plugins show a drop
down here with actual returned values.&nbsp; Could this
<br>&gt; work for items that might return text instead of a
number?&nbsp; For
<br>&gt; instance a xAP device will have the value of either
Left, Right, Up, <br>&gt; or Down.... would it be possible for
xAP to detect what types are <br>&gt; being sent, or allow a
textbox to add them to this dropdown list,
<br>&gt; instead of having all device values be
numeric?&nbsp; It could be an option <br>&gt; of device type
possibly... a checkbox that says if it's numeric or
not?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;
By far #2, and #3 are the most important to me, since I can't actually
<br>&gt; trigger events in homeseer based on the message I'm
receiving.&nbsp; Also <br>&gt; can't properly send the
message that I'd like.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;
