This is mainly for my kitchen and bathroom which are the ... ack...
LW10U - the bedroom is an LW11G d'oh. The LW10U doesn't support soft
start etc.

No problem, I didn't explain it too well!

Put simply - when the PIR is activated, the light comes on, when the PIR
is deactivated, the light goes off. Rather than simple on-off, I do on
at 80% or on at 40% depending on time of day.

If I send the following during testing:-
xpl-cmnd
{
hop=1
source= XPL-XPLHAL.HOMEAUTO1
target=JOHNB-CM12.DOOGIE
}
x10.basic
{
device=a3
command=dim
level=80
}

a light that's at 100% will dim to 80%. If I send it again, the light
will dim to 80% of 80% - one of the things I want to do is to say go to
level 80% without it being incremental the 2nd and 3rd time etc that the
PIR is triggered.

Slightly more concerning/ confusing me, is when I try this at all in
xPLHal I'm getting nothing......

The following in xPLHal:-

Sub X10_M2_On_Trigger (XplMsg)
call x10.Send("A3","ON",0)
call x10.Send("A3","DIM",80)
End Sub

does this:-

Message
"xpl-trig
{
hop=1
source=johnb-cm12.doogie
target=*
}
x10.basic
{
Command=ON
Device=M2
}
"
"XPL-CMND
{
hop=1
source=xpl-xplhal.homeauto1
target=*
}
X10.BASIC
{
Command=ON
Device=A3
}
"
"xpl-trig
{
hop=1
source=johnb-cm12.doogie
target=*
}
x10.confirm
{
Command=ON
Device=A3
}
"

There's no mention of a DIM being sent out at all. If I comment out the
"ON" line, I get the xpl-trig but no commands sent out at
all..... am I
doing something wrong or is something broken, or what?

Thanks guys!
