Hi to all friends,
As the post title i will explain my case:
All my X10 installation is working OK from the begining, wall oulets and lights, but if i change the state from a normal on/off module (in example the AW12 from marmitek) from the wall switch the new state is not updated in the Router if i understand well. I don't know if is problem in the router, the module by itshelf due to a not send the status to CM15A or a code implementation that doesn't read the status of modules.
Somebody have some answer? Is just to go in one way to try solve it.

X10 is one way communication. Meaning the communication is from controller to device only. So if you dim or turn off a device from a controller other than linuxMCE the state of that device will no longer correspond to what linuxMCE thinks it should be.
Insteon, Zigbee and Zwave are all 2 way communications protocols.
hi ,
i found this documentation ,
http://www.x10community.com/2006/04/twoway_lamp_and_appliance_modu.php
i think is possible to request a status from a two-way appliance.

I stand corrected. There is an advanced X10 protocol which provides 2 way communication, although I am not sure what devices meet those standards.
Thanks for the coments.
In all ways i think that is not just change to this new modules, also i think the plugin for the CM15A should be re-writted to read the status bits, Am i ok?
Regards
PS. I'm having a look regarding the code
