Hi - I just ordered a Synchrolinc to detect when our new clothes washer finishes its cycle (Its end of cycle tone is rather quiet, I'm going to hook a pizo buzzer up to an appliancelinc and use PH to trigger the buzzer after a delay). The owners manual is a bit light on details, but I'm assuming it just sends Group signals for load-on and load-off (Groups 1 and 2?).

Has anyone used one of these with PH? Any issues?

Thanks

I'll close this thread out by saying I bought one, and set it up as a ControlLinc, and receive 2 group controller commands

Low current => high current Group 1 on
High-current -> low current Group 1 off or Group 2 on (it toggles every time the device is reset, so I simply trigger on both).

Big problem (see my other post) is that to configure it you need extended commands. Houselinc or ISY both support this. I know PH supports functions that do the byte-banging but without any info on which bytes to bang I'm SOL now. - but if you have a response to this issue please put in my other post.
thanks
