Are you saying you need to send the 'on' for every change in level or just
once to get out of the 'off' state?

Homeseer
Hi James,
Thanks for your work on this.
I have tried your new ocx and it would appear we now have partial
success. If I send an extended dim command, nothing happens as before,
however if I then send a X10 on, it does immediately go to that dim
level! Unfortunately no HS event will currently work with absolute dim.
Somehow, this on command needs to be sent after the extended command.
I have also tracked down the starting up issue. You may not know but
when Homeseer starts the web server, it first loads and runs the home
page in memory to assist with ASP.NET loading pages. It looks like your
plugin stops any VB.NET scripts from running if they are called from
within this page. It's unfortunate that I run two scripts in this way
(to notify guests on my site etc). It would appear VB Script code works
fine but this is a backward step IMO as I have converted most to VB.NET.
HTH
