electrical as a source of X10 issues

[Handley George]

James,

I'm away from my computer at the moment, but I will try to track down the log entry in yesterday's missing event.

I can unfortunately advise, that earlier in the week, and certainly before all my KCP&L electrical correction, I had two missing events which I don't believe I've ever experienced in some four years.

Upon discovery, I ran to the log and confirmed that the events were not in the log. 

I have every reason to believe that I will not find the "turn on flag" event was not in yesterday's log either, but will table this discussion until I know one way or the other.

Evidently it means two different things to you depending on whether it was or wasn't in the log, and I look forward to learning what those are.

Thank you very much as usual,

George

I fixed one 3 or 4 years ago that surfaced finally in a way I could finally duplicate. You need to check your logs and see if XTension thinks it ran the event or not. All scheduled events are logged. If the scripts or whatever ran without errors then XTEnsion thinks it sent the commands, if the log events are actually missing then there has to be a reason in the software that they didn't work. But I need to know which kind of problem we're looking for here.
