Associating Vizia RF devices to Serial Interface (RCZOP)

[politics123]

Hi --

Trying to get 2 way communication to setup. I goto HAI setup, I put checkboxes next to the devices, I click save, and it seems like nothing happens. When I go back into the controller setup, nothing is checked.

Anyone gotten association to work? Do the checkboxes remain in the HAI setup page after you exit that sub-menu? (if you go back, are they still checked?)

The check boxes are not persistent - unfortunately.

Can you verify the issue by opening HyperTerminal (it's a separate download on Vista but built into 95 & XP).
9660 baud
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No flow control.

Make sure you choose the correct COM port. You can test it by hitting Enter on the keyboard and you should receive "<E000" without the quotes.

If that's working then turn on or off a light and you should see something like
<N020S000,000,000
or
<N010L099

Okay, now I've got a really dumb question: do _all_ (including non-vizia) switches send out a message on status change, or can you only determine status after polling them?

I was able to detect the "events" generated by my vizia switches, but not from my non-Vizia switches.

According to the homeseer site Intermatic, ACT, Cooper, Leviton, Intermatic all have switches that support instant status but I don't think that feature is compatible between product lines.

Can anyone confirm this?


PS: the above product matrix is not entirely accurate.
