Hi Dennis,

As Mark mentioned setup a PLC-Button item and then monitor it:

|Item:PLC-Button G		Type:PLC-Button			Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(none)					Backup:No
|	House Code   :G

This will monitor housecode G

No set up an event:

If PLC-Button G is now 1/on
Then "whatever you want"

Also as Mark mentioned you can transmit on this as well:

If PLC-Button G is now 1/on
Then PLC-Button G set 2/off

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Hello,

First, forget what I asked about the Cmax software in another message.

I am beginning to use my ECS software connected to a CPU-XA, SECU-16 and
X10 items.  I followed the Quickstart Tutorial and was able to get "My
Lamp" to function properly following the directions given.  I then
wanted to use my Powerhouse Key chain remote (model kc674) that
energizes a Powerhouse Transceiver Module (model TM751).  I wanted to
send an X10 signal and have it detected by the ECS software when the
"On" button was pressed.  This would then energize a relay on the
SECU-16.  Later when the "Off" button was pressed, the SECU-16 relay
would be de-energized.

My problem is that I cannot seem to determine how to set up the ECS
software to "detect" incoming X10 commands.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Dennis Fenske
