|
|
Is there any programmatic way to set/get the temperature scale (F/C) in the TXB16?
Using the keypad one can set the reporting to either Fahrenheit or Centigrade, but there is nothing about any software command to set this programmatically in the two manuals (uses and prtotocol). I want to be able to set this through my home automation software not the keypad. |

X10 program tables can be found at the link below to control all aspects of the TXB16 thermostat.

The most common X10 commands can be found here:

Two way communications with the TXB16 can be found here:

Thanks for the reply, but my original question is still not answered: "Is there any programmatic way to set/get the temperature scale (F/C) in the TXB16?"
I had checked all these manuals you referred me to before I posted my question here. I couldn't find anything in all these documents about how to set/get the scale programmatically - through X10 commands; not through the keypad (or dip-switches in the case of TX15B). Are there any non-documented commands that can be used? |

Here's the only way I was able to find Celsius an Farenheit choices. I dont see a programmatic way to change it.
Setup Mode
The TXB16 has a new setup mode to allow the user to set the following functions from the WDU:
· X10 House Code Address
· F/C mode
· Sensor Calibration
Entering into the setup mode.
Enter the setup mode by the following procedure:
1. First press and hold the Mode button
2. Simultaneously press the Fan button.
3. The display will change to show “SU”.
4. Release all buttons.
5. The display will change to show the setup menu, starting with “Ad” (Address)
6. Select what setup function you want to change or view by pressing the Mode button to cycle
through the menu options:
“Ad” X10 Address
“FC” Fahrenheit or Celsius mode
“C1” Calibrate Internal Sensor (or Remote Sensor address 1 if attached)
“C2” (if Remote Sensor address 2 attached)
“C4” (if Remote Sensor address 4 attached) |
