Action
Returns a byte that indicates if a X10 Power line interface is found.
Syntax
Result = X10DETECT( )
Remarks
Result |
A variable that will be assigned with 0 if there is no Power Line Interface found.
1 will be returned if the interface is found, and the detected mains frequency is 50 Hz. 2 will be returned if the interface is found and the detected mains frequency is 60 Hz. |
When no TW-523 or other suitable interface is found, the other X10 routines will not work.
