Frank,

For the HV-PC.  Define IR-Signal-J with station #0 and nothing in the zone
field (HV-PC) does not support zones.  Then when you set this item to a any
ID# that is defined in your schedule you loaded into your controller (with
the HV-PC software) the IR signal should be sent.  Mark and I had some
problems with this before Christmas and he had to change some code.  I had
to download the BETA version of ECS and don't know if Mark has put this into
the regular version.  Additionally, I have not yet gotten the MONITORING
part to work.  I am not sure if I was getting the same hex number but as the
ECS doc indicates the IR-Signal-J item state should change to the ID# of the
HV-PC controller defined signal.

Let me know how your quest goes.

Kevin
