The information has been made public and so people can use it. Generally I do not see anything wrong with it. However, it would be nice if it is not just one way, users should contribute their findings to make it easier for everyone to use. CER might also want to think about license implications (de...

I cannot test the setting time with the remote programmer (I lost the CD and dont have a windows around to run it anyway). I implemented the function and people using the software with a powermaxpro are ok but it does not work on a powermax+.

0d a4 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 80 00 00 43 96 0a this should be sent to the powermax to switch on X15. Byte8 means on; Byte10 is X15 0d a4 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 43 96 0a this should be sent to powermax to switch off X01. Byte8 means on; Byte9 is X01 0d a5 00 04 00 01 00 00 00 00 12 80 43 7f 0a ...

I have not seen this on my powermax+ (You might have a newer version or a pwermaxpro). I think you can configure the fault report behavior on the powermax itself. For example, I think you can disable to throw an alarm when the phone line is interrupted. There should be as well an option not to compl...

0xAB 0x0A 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x43

should work to initialisze (its described above, not below)

I can confirm now that the time set message is only working on a powermaxpro but not on a powermax+.

A5 Event Message (BYTE 2 = 0x04) Byte9: On/Off status of attached X-10 (Unit 1 to 7 and PGM output). LSB is PGM; MSB is Unit 7. Byte10: On/Off status of attached X-10 (Unit 8 to 15). LSB is Unit 8; MSB is Unit 15. The AUX button of the keyfob can be defined to switch an X10 unit or the PGM output. W...

Ok, that might be the problem here. When I send the set time command my panel ignores the message (no ack). It might be that this command is only possible on a powermaxpro (and not the powermax+). There is as well the possiblility that my code is rubbish. I will try to get some users that use my sof...

@Willem4ever

I use a powermax+. What panel type did you use to try it? powermaxpro maybe?

@Rene

Did you have a chance to try that with real smoke?
Did you ever try the set time and date? Does that work for you?

When pressing the test button on a smoke detector (MCT-425) I see the following message: 0D A5 00 04 00 A2 10 03 00 03 01 00 43 59 0A Byte 5 is 0x10 which indicates Zone 16 which is correct. However, Byte 6 is "0x03 Open" and I would have expected "0x0F Fire Alarm". Did anyone el...

0x46 - Set date and time

This command is not working for me. Can someone please check if it is correctly documented (Also, I would have assumed that a PIN would need to be submitted with it).

All, did anyone of you with a powerlink found out any more useful command messages we can send? So far we can arm/disarm but there are so much more things that could be done. For example, voice on/off, chime on/off, mute siren, x10 commands. Also it should be possible to get more info, for example, ...

Whatever I program for the aux button I do not get a message on the serial line ...

Did anyone figure out howto 1) Get the AUX button of a powermax keyfob to generate a message on the serial port. I would like to use the keyfob AUX button to trigger action in my home automation system. 2) Send commands via rs232 to trigger X10 commands. That way I could use the powermax as cheap X1...
