Thanks for the screenshots - it's the only really clear way of
communicating
a HouseBot setup. One of it's few -ve points.
One thing I can't see in the shots though is the detailed settings for the
'xAP Message Target'. And it occurs to me that the behaviour you depict is
exactly what would happen if the checkbox 'Allow Same Value Settings' for
this property was unchecked. Can you check the setting of that please.
