Of course there isn't As I said, i had no idea it was setting the same upper and lower limit when the motor was not in a tube

i didn;t do it intentionally. If it's not in a tube and you set them, they get set to the same position because the encoder needs to the tube

it wasn't in a tube so effectively I set the upper and lower limit to the same position (due to the way the encoder works, the motor must be in a tube to set limits)

Hi all Have 2 brand new units. I can move motor with limit setting toll but when I set up and lower limits and move switch to center position, the up and down buttons do nothing. The should move motor to upper and lower limit. I have the motor plugged into AC power and limit setting till...

    Yeah, mis-read your original post. Guess I have Javascript on the brain at the moment

Haven't tried Elve.   I really don't have a good feeling about it. Supposed to be open source now, this post doesn't give me any comfort: http://www.codecoretechnologies.com/community/index.php?topic=1892.0. There are no galleries (even the community only has about 4 sets of screens) Seems to be...

Thanks for reply. Could you elaborate on your setup? Don't know too much about eventghost other than you can send it commands and have it execute PC stuff   What manages the z-wave network? What's the data flow when you send a command and receive status back?

Just downloaded Configure my z-stick following instructions here: http://www.openremote.org/display/docs/Discover+Controller+Z-Wave+Devices   There is no z-wave section in the log4j.properties file. I added this to the end (as it seems to be the only thing that does anything in the example...
