Updating X10 Security addresses requires a restart

[Sean Lavigne]

Good morning,

It’s been a couple years since we moved in to this house and I spent the weekend changing batteries in the X10 Security motion sensors.  One of the sensors changed its address so I updated it in XTension.  After saving the address change in XTension, the sensor continued to show up in the log as:

2020-02-16 10:45:09  W800 USB: received ON for address: C10
2020-02-16 10:45:09  W800: received ON for address: C10

…instead of by name, and the Last Activity field for the device doesn’t update.  A restart of XTension resolved the issue.  I noticed a second sensor with new batteries also wasn’t reporting and had the same issue.  Another restart resolved it.

I’m running 9.2.47 on Mac OS 10.14.6.

Cheers,

Sean
