[slinkelist] Using X-10

[Jeffrey J. Borghoff]

What is Extended X-10?

Can you use/send Extended X-10 with the Slink-e OCX and Server?

If so what can it do with it?

Jeff

FYI: The TW523 does not support extended X10 codes, the CM11a does, and is 2
way as well..

The CM11a is the device you want if you plan to use X10 in your Slink-e
setup.. (Unless you plan to write you own code..)

It would be nice if X10 tech support knew something about their own
products...
