My program needs to know if the panel is attached to a charger.

Hi everybody.

I don't know how to determine from my program if the MVP-8400 panel is attached to charger or not. Could anyone help me?

There is if you are using a dock, I don't know of a way for a simple charger though.

It doesn't necessarily deliver very timely notification, but you can always use the panel's battery level setting to have it report back to your NetLinx program the current battery charge. If you remember the last level value reported and compare it against the current, you can tell if it is going up or going down--i.e., charging or draining. Not as direct as the docking channel, but a possible solution.

You can read the Button state or Button text.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?TXT-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<optional index>'"

You have to open "system page template" then you'll see the setup page's

I'm not sure if this will work.....
