I've not changed any code related to the areas you mention for quite a
while. Are you saying that these are new behaviours seen with this release
or just that you are testing this one with more demanding wildcard
sequences
than before?

Subject: Re: [xap_automation] Updated X10 connectors at www.erspearson.com



I seem to have a couple more problems Edward

1) I seem to be able to turn a device off but not on - if I send a
BSC off it works fine but change the state= 'off' to 'on' and it
doesn't. With the 'off' I see in the GUI the xAP receive
xAPBSCcmd:<devicename> with 1 block followed by a transmit of the X10
event and then the BSC info or event message . With the on command I
just see the xAP Receive xAPBSC.cmd:<devicename>

2) I am having a load of problems with wildcards . Temporarily I
have set up my names like this example to initially preserve some X10
information whilst I get it working.

ERSP.X10.machine:D7.Hall.TableLamp

I tried targeting ERSP.X10.*:D7.> and nothing worked , in fact I am
not sure anything works with a : in it once wildcarded. So I then
guessed at

ERSP.X10.*.D7.> and I got a load of devices changing state even though
only one of mine has D7 in it. About half my X10 devices changed
state. When I fully qualified the target it seemed to work OK. BTW I
am using ID=*

One of the reasons the wildcarding is quite important for me is that
my little embedded mapper has limited target address space so anything I
(or users) can wildcard saves target string storage eg >:D7.> is much
more compact than the full address although *.X10.>:D7.> is probably
more focussed. Eventually I will probably go for >:*.Hall.TableLamp or
*.X10.>:*.Hall.TableLamp though or better still remove the X10
house/device code totally.
The : is now very important in wildcarding since sub addressing to
divide the address into the two components with the first > matching
'only' to the : and the second to the end of the sub address ie a match
anything is >:> and not *.> (the latter would not match anything
that
had a sub address) although it would match every application. I wonder
if maybe this is a carry over from Stuart not fully integrating sub
addressing into xFX ?
