Thanks for the try but that doesn't work either.

Try ESCX1008\\x0D

If you are using IP, then make sure you have the correct IP address and port number. Looks like it uses a Dynamic address by default (good idea to change it to a static address) and the port number should be 251.

"The Ethernet port on the FireBall is automatically configured for external control using the
FireBall's IP address and port 251 (0xFB on the same subnet. The FireBall uses a Dynamic
IP address by default. The Dynamic IP address can be found using the Setup / Utilities/
System Information menu on the TV UI. However, it is highly recommended to set the
FireBall to a Static IP address when using Ethernet for external control because the IP address
of the FireBall must be hard coded in the control system program and could change if set to
Dynamic."

I'm out of ideas after this.

Good luck

I am very satisfied with iRule and this thread, and recommend it to everyone I know. The power and flexibility of iRule, especially once we get 2.0 (feedback) and later an android port (cheap tablets). I see iRule as the glue that will let us integrate our home entertainment, automation, home security, sprinklers, landscape lighting,....with a infinitely customizable user interface. If you can imagine it, I think you can make it in iRule.

I have tried it on two different ipads, same issue.
I have also gone through and deleted all the buttons with no luck. I also tried deleting the custome background but the label missing the bottom line was still there.

Any help would be apprehiated.

It tells you how to convert your non Google payment to a Google account so that you can log onto your paid builder.

It says that those Gateways are the only ones that are officially supported. Any help would be appreciated.

Got a question about how to structure the IR command for using X10 and IR543 device. Is there a delay that is necessary between Unit code and Function?

i.e unit1+delay(?)+ON?

Also... Is it not possible to do direct intensity input with X10 like you can with Insteon?

No, there is no direct bright level. Some switches remember the last value though. And since each bright/dim command is something like a 7% change, you can usually make macros that get pretty close.
