Ok, so I've been researching how to use my ProntoNeo to control my X10 devices.

Apparently, I need a IR543, which converts the IR to an RF signal. This can then be picked up by my transceiver. And I found the NCF for the 16 device codes.

My question, however, is that from what I read the IR543 only works with one house code (which is fine). The problem is that I believe it only works with devices 1-8. Is this correct? If so, why are there 16 buttons in the NCF file? This leads me to believe I'm reading something wrong.

My devices are spread thruout the house and all the ones I want to control from my NEO are on Housecode A. But the unit codes go from 1 to 3, 7 to 9 and maybe 10, 12 and 14. The reason they are this way is because I'm also using RF Wallplates in certain rooms and they need to be in sequential order.

Any suggestions here?!??

I can confirm that the codes in the file area posted by Pat Spector DO work for settings above 8. I just set one of my lamps to 15 and using that ncf, was able to power it on and off.

As for controlling the other house codes (other than A), I believe that the IR-543AH or the IR-AH543 (not sure what the lettering is) can control multiple code letters.

Well I found out thru research that the IR543 works with unit 1-8 (1/4 and 5/8) with hard buttons on the box itself but works for all 16 via IR, which is very cool. That's why it works for your device 15. Thanks for confirming!

I downloaded the ncf and will try it when my IR543 arrives.

Thanks tkrug!
