[QUOTE="ronsonol, post: 151059, member: 48959"] Patrick, thank you so much for this. I've quickly given it a run through, and found a couple of things. I've created two devices to test, one dimmable, and the other just the on/off type. On the BHA screen in MP, you'll see that the little icons to control the device are indeed different. For the dimmable device, I see an (up arrow, down arrow, and a bullseye dot). The Up arrow calls the Bright command, and it will turn the device on fine that way. The down arrow, instead of calling the Dim command, calls the Off command. And the bullseye dot does nothing. So, not able to Dim. For the standard on/off device, I again see three icons (the on, a striked out dim option, and the bullseye) The first calls the On command, good, the second should do nothing, but calls the off command. And the third(bullseye) send nothing. I also noticed that the very first time I tried to turn a device on, the ahcmd program crashed, with the windows report poping up. But have not seen it again. I also cannot seem to save/make changes to the deivce once its created, such as assigning pictures, location, categories. I'll play some more, and report in. Many thanks, Ronsonol [/QUOTE]
