Does anyone have these commands or know anything about the protocol? This is a new device for us and it came with no programming instructions.

Did you find the command set for the VAMS-0808? I found an English operator's manual, at least: [Link: 128.134.140.200] , but there's nothing useful in it.

TIA.

I have determined the protocol for the VAMS-0808. I've put some of the details on my blog at [Link: killswtch.net]

If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me.
