Hi,
Currently there is no way to send raw messages, I'll have to add a new
function for that. It would be slightly more involved than your
example as you would have to add a UID too as you wouldn't be able to
use floorplan's uid. If you need to send it now then you could just
add a winsockobject t the script and use that to send the message. As
it's just sending you wouldnt need to bind it or anything, just set
udp, to 3639 and remote ip of 255.255.255.255 and make the raw message.
I'm not sure why floorplan messages are not getting translated. It
could be something in the loop protection kicking in and dropping the
message. I had lots of issues with messages getting into infinite
loops in earlier Floorplans with the translator so there is an array
of protection now to stop it happening. I'll have to look into it

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 jus
t use the setdisplayvalue function. That way you can avoid the additional
messages. You can then use the custom button functions to trigger
certain messages to control 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 raw 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 as well as an xpl hub on the
pc running Floorplan.</div><div style="line-height: 1.22em;
