understanding the log file and event viewer

[chirpsmrf]

Hello, just spent the past few hours search the forum for some detailed info on how to interpret the code in the event viewer and log file. My log file and event viewer are getting loaded with X10 Status requests

Thu 12/02/2010 09:03:58 PM : [X10-RX ] 02 52 FF 80

Thu 12/02/2010 09:03:58 PM : [ X10] J10/Status Request (10)

 

and I can not for the life of me figure out where they are coming from, I do not have any x10 transmitters in the house and just reconnected my old x10 PZ signal blocker at the panel. I do have a TED energy detective that I know can cause issues, I disconnect that last week and am still getting the same log entries every few seconds. I also have a few x10 plug in modules being control through simple isy programs.It is driving me crazy, over the weekend I am going to start shutting one ckt at a time unti till it stops but if the event viewer could give some hints it would be helpfull

Is there an index of the event viewer format ?

thanks

The 02 52 FF 80 (02 52) is the PLM primitive indicating an X10 message segment received from the powerline. There is no way to know the source of the X10 segment from the 02 52 PLM message. The FF byte looks like noise is a possibility. Shutting off breakers or unplugging devices is as good as any technique.

Just today I looked on the wiki for this exact info. It has a great breakdown of the info in the event viewer. Just click on the wiki in the help menu from the Admin Console and type "event viewer" in the resulting search box on the home page of the wiki.

 

Learned lots, not like the knowledge in LeeG's brain, but lots.

Hi,

 

The Wiki User Guide has links to all menu items.

Tools Menu | Diagnostics | Event Viewer.
