Re: xAP control of X10 Extended commands via Homeseer

["Jon" <jon00@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

Sorry, I should have answered your first post better.

I do also have Michaels xAP plugin installed (but disabled)  and tried
it before downloading James offering.

I was hoping to support a home grown plugin first!  That said, I did see
a post somewhere on the HS message board about xAP conduit stability
issues (I cannot find it ATM) and wanting to change to Michaels plugin.

With conduit, I am seeing so many xAP messages, probably due to my 486
devices being constantly updated that the xAP viewer cannot cope at
times. As usual, I'm probably pushing things to their limit.

I'll wait until James replies before going down a different route.

Thanks,

Jon
