Dennis:

Assuming you have a PLC-Interface defined, all you need to do is something
like the following..

Define the Powerhouse Transceiver Module as a PLC-Button and set that button
to the house code that the transceiver is set to.

Use logic like
If PLC-Button  Is Now  On
Then  Do Something

If  PLC-Button Is Now Off
Then Do Something Else

Note the 'Is Now'. This will make sure the do something or do something else
only happens once.
