I assume you talk about USB-verson? I was suppriced when RFXCOM informed
that their LAN supports only xPL, not xAP (as HomeSeer plug-in talks about
xAP only and has LAN version also mentioned in plugin documentation). LAN
would allowe me to locate RFXCOM-receiver in optimal place at house (PC in
one coner only, and wireless signals sometimes lost)

Answer from RFXCOM: "The RFXmitter is not supported by xAP so you have
to select the standard transmitter." (standard as USB)

If you are going for LAN-version, please "report" if successfull
with your integration.

BTW. Why 433.92MHz RFXmitter (Order code: 89031) is stated as "This
RFXmitter can only be used by the Homeseer RFXCOM plug-in or xPL", if
HomeSeer uses only xAP? As Newbee I am confused :-(

Only WSDL supports all 10 additional channels of OS-Weather Station
(existing, used for room temperatures)

the command message within the Basic Status and Control schema and is a xAP
Automation protocol.  mi4 has a product called xAP Floorplan that displays
xAPBSC (and other) schema data - were you meaning that ?

Seems possible option. Which S/W could I use as interface (exe tms) to my
send-data? As always I look for easy way out...

20y ago I would have taken that challange, now I can use only Excel to

I found one more option - I have now promoted xAP in WSDL-forum and wait
for (positive) results :-)
