P) you choose, giving 255 possible codes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protocol third<\/strong> &#8211; This has a 26 bit address giving 67 million addresses for each of the 16 units and it seems possible that this range can be doubled using the &#8220;grouped&#8221; command for each of the 16 unit No.(altho with the pronto you can group any number of devices with a macro).The group command will turn on a dimming device without triggering the dimming cycle sequence, as will the dim command.\u00a0 Byron would appear to allocate at random a different address to each transmitting device manufactured be it a key fob, wall switch, remote etc. The HE100 has two addresses to give the 32 device span.<\/p>\n<p>With so many possible codes it makes sense to stick to as few addresses as you need, each address<br \/>\noperating 16 possible devices.<\/p>\n<p>TIP &#8211; The program hashes the name\/number entered into the 26 bit address, and would suggest\u00a0 eg &#8220;password bedroom 1&#8221; is a lot easier to remember than a number.<\/p>\n<p>The door lock codes have a seperate command, I suppose to make them less likely to duplication but have not been able to check this fully not having one to test. Feedback on this would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to set the Device property on your pronto to RF 0,0.<\/p>\n<p>The program will ouput your code selection as a text file named &#8220;Heasyhex.txt&#8221; containing the Pronto hex codes which you can copy\/paste as usual and also a txt file &#8220;Heasy.csf&#8221; which is a compiler script for use with CCFCompiler.exe (available from remotecentral) to generate a CCF file. If CCFCompiler.exe and CCFDll.dll are copied to the HEasy generator application folder it will do this for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/automatedhome.com\/down\/HEgenerator.zip\" target=\"_blank\">Download the Code Generator Here<\/a> : Feedback or comments to <a href=\"mailto:prontoeasy@tiscali.co.uk\">prontoeasy@tiscali.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want More?<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ottomate\">Follow us<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AutomatedHomeUK\" target=\"_blank\">Like us<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook, or subscribe to our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/automatedhome\">RSS feed<\/a>.
