Hi James,
Thanks for that, it gives me a few ideas.
I noticed that if I send an xpl message from a script in Floorplan then it
=
doesn't get translated and therefore doesn't show up in xFx Viewer? It
wou=
ld be handy if this could happen to aid troubleshooting.
Also, when I use xap.sendxap in a script, is there an optional parameter
th=
at I can pass to it to fake the source?
e.g.
xap.sendxap
tmp,"message.display","mi4.IntranetLaunch.*","ahs.HomeEasy.ahsh=
aserver"
If not, it would be useful to be able to do this on the odd occasion that
I=
need to send a message from Floorplan to a device that usually filters out=
all messages apart from those from specific sources.
Thanks,
Martyn

Hi,
dummy device plan is a good one, as the homeeasy is only one way there is=
not much you can do about triggering things on messages. You don't have to=
send xAP messages to update the device on the map, you can just use the se=
tdisplayvalue function. That way you can avoid the additional messages.
Yo=
u can then use the custom button functions to trigger certain messages to
c=
ontrol things. (or you could get fancy and do some custom html as the
popup=
). This all assumes that the schema is odd. If not why not just make a
ra=
w device to receive the xPL messages, look on the guides on mi4 for how to
=
do this. You'll need the xpl receicing support turned on for this to work
a=
s well as an xpl hub on the pc running Floorplan.

raw xAP message that updates the pseudo xAP device?
Would that be the best way, or is there something else I can do?
