[QUOTE="patrick, post: 140823, member: 12502"] Hi ronsonol, Thanks for the links, very interesting stuff! This plugin does support basic device "state" images representing on/off/level/unknown. (As well as a separate image representing the device.) This plugin does not directly interact with x10 etc. It interacts with xAP Basic Status and Control (BSC) which in turn communicates with a "conduit" that talks to x10 etc. So if that conduit is monitoring status then the status will be available even if the device is turned on/off without this plugin running. If the app you linked to supports cm15a you could probably get "monitoring" in this plugin via the X10Dispatcher triggers to run a xAP command line tool sending predefined messages that provide state information. You could probably also control the device (although it would be VERY klunky) using the "File Runner" devices you can create in this plugin to run the commands you mentioned. Don't think of this as a yes or no to add support, it is just I am short on time right now. This plugin is somewhat extensible so it could be that it is not too hard to code for this specific case, although I have nothing CM15a so it is kind of hard to test. HTH, patrick [/QUOTE]
