OK, thanks. I have looked at arctech and see that it maps a D value 1-16 into a protocol parameter 0-15 by subtracting 1. I was aware of how to do that, but that is not the correspondence in X10. As far as I am aware, IrpTransmogrifier has no mechanism for converting the sequence 6,7,4,5,8,9,10,11,14,15,12,13,0,1,2,3 into 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, which is the correspondence between D values in X10-device and device number. I did think whether it was possible to use an IRP Definitions section to achieve this, but the problem I saw was that it needs to be reversible, in order to both generate the IR signal for a given device number and decode an IR signal to find its device number and I did not think that was possible in IrpTransmogrifier. RMIR extends the equation solving facilities of IrpTransmogrifier with RMEquation.java and does enable this mapping to be done reversibly. That is what the definitions section in rm:deployment executor does, so the RMIR Learned Signals panel displays device numbers, using D parameter -> device number, and export of an X10 device upgrade as a Girr file uses the reverse, device number -> D parameter.
