I asked HAL the status of a device, but it says that information is unavailable.

Solution

Related Product(s): All HAL Software

Cause:	The device is not connected to a two-way X-10 receiver that has the status request feature.
Solution:	Replace the existing X-10 receiver with one that is two-way and has the ability to transmit its status.
Cause:	The power line adapter/connector being used with HAL does not accept status information.
Solution:	Some power line connectors like the TW523 or PSC05 can send extended data information, but can't receive that information. Use a HAL11, CM11, HD11, or comparable model instead. The HAL11, CM11, and others like them can not only transmit extended code data, but they can also receive it.
