Glenn,

At the end of my portion of this post I will include a snippet from my items
and events.  I have a couple (I should say HAD) set up as PLC-Button as Mark
recommends, and the others as straight appliance items.  The reason I say
HAD is that I was using 4 and now have them all (I hope temporarily) out of
service.  As long as I used them I had strange light occurrences.  I would
have lights going on and off when they should not consistently, just now and
then.  I tried tr4acking this down for WEEKS, even moving all Hawkeyes to an
unused housecode.  Nothing stopped the strange occurrence until I took them
out of service. My next plan is to put them back 1 by 1.

Anyway:

|Item:Motion: Masterbed         Type:Appliance
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	House Code   :G
|	Unit  Code   :2
|Item:Motion: Office            Type:Appliance
Acc:User/User

|	House Code   :G
|	Unit  Code   :8

|Event:	Motion Lights                   Called ?:No
|
|	If         Somebodies home     Is         Off
|	Then       ECS: Event exit     Set        True
|
|	BEGINIF    Someone is in bed   Is         False
|	And        Barb is napping     Is         Off
|	If         Motion: Masterbed   Is Now     On
|	Then       Master bed light    Set        On
|	If         Motion: Masterbed   Is Now     Off
|	Then       Master bed light    Set        Off
|	ENDIF
|	BEGINIF    Adamsleeps          Is         False
|	If         Master lights       Is Now     5/On
|	Then       Adam's Light        Set        On
|	If         Master lights       Is Now     5/Off
|	Then       Adam's Light        Set        Off
|	ENDIF
|
|	BEGINIF    Sarasleeps          Is         False
|	If         Master lights       Is Now     7/On
|	Then       Sara's light        Set        On
|	If         Master lights       Is Now     7/Off
|	Then       Sara's light        Set        Off
|	ENDIF
|
|	If         Motion: Office      Is Now     On
|	Then       Light office        Set        On
|	If         Motion: Office      Is Now     Off
|	Then       Light office        Set        Off
|	End

Ok, I'm a newbe to ECS...

Can someone aim me to any information on using the standard wireless X-10
Motions like MS12/MS13a.

I'm looking for some ITEM and EVENT definitions.

Any examples would be great....

I'm using an MS13 today and defined the ITEM as a SWITCH-2 and an APPLIANCE
module. I get the on status from the MS13 but not the off status when it
stops detecting motion. (PS, active home sees it, but ECS doesn't?... naa,
I must have configured it wrong? )
