X10 Module hacks....

[AZ Woody]

For a long and strange reason, I found I needed to use a X10
"powerflash" module. I had two on hand - one new, and one that had
"mode 1 - Dev only" written on it.

Anyway, ran some tests and the "new one" would send the device On as
well as a "All on" when triggered, while the one with my obscure note
would only send the "dev on" (exactly what I wanted!).

I must of hacked it at some point!

Anyway, I can no longer find the "hack" site for X10. Anybody have a
link? Worst case, anybody remember the hack for the powerflash?

Thanks in advance...

find that still works.

My powerflash modules has a selectable mode switch on the front, based
on the docs:
http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/4060.pdf

mode1= all on + dev on
mode2=flash all lights on/off
mode3=single dev on

Is your PF module particularly old? mine is a couple years old so
it's not a recent change.
