Hi Bill,
Please accepy MY apologies, as I obviously
misinterpreted your statement :-).

The "GEMINI Home Automation Development Spec" is the only
documentation I have on the Napco, and it provides VERY
few details as to what is what. And having never even seen
the unit, I know very little of it myself. I just focused on
providing ALL the control and status monitoring that the protocol
supported (with little regard paid the the particular meaning
of each status message).

SOME confusion regarding the RTS states is probably due
my need to be "creative" with some abbreviations (given
the 19-char limit). Let's see the following is any help.
NOTE: I will merge this info in the next upload of ECS.HTM.
