    55This devices allows communication between various RF protocols as supported by RFXCOM devices. Just to name a few: X10 RF, Homeeasy, Oregon Scientific, Harrison curtain rails.

    76I primarily use a few Homeasy dimmers, some Homeeasy buttons and the Harrison curtain rails.

    98What I do not like about these protocols is that they ''can be'' very unreliable. In the future I will be replacing this hardware with more reliable items.

    1413I use an older product from RFXCOM which is a LAN interface which has 2 ports, one for a receiver and one for the transmitter. This immediately poses a problem for the vera device characteristics due to the nature of a luup device having only one communication port. In a luup implementation file events are raised when data arrives. Because of this the read port of RFXCOM is the default port. For any sending that needs to be done a scoket connection is made.

    29 Dip switch in down position gives binary code 00, dip switch in upper position gives 11 and in the middle position gives 10. When you look at my remote, the code found is: 00 00 11 11 00 10 10 10.  In hex this gives 0F2A.
