Has anyone experience of controlling devices in the Leviton Green series?

This home uses wall switches such as dimming wall switch controllers
HXC7S-1TW with dimming wall switch receivers HXM06-1TW to set scenes.

Monitoring the power line X10 signals using an ACT monitor I see power
line signals such as: K[1]012636 for scene 1 and K[1]01BE36 for OFF and
when I use ACT's free Logger Interface software with one of their computer
interface controller I can enter those same strings to correctly generate
the appropriate scene commands.

I have two problems: first I would like to control the individual lights
and not only use the set scenes, and second I do not know how to have
Homeseer software generate a K[1]012636 sequence, even if I was happy to
live only with the scenes already set into the wall controller buttons.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Tony

"Cat. Nos. HCMØ6 and HCM1Ø can be operated manually as a standard type
dimmer. The module may be set to any of 256 address codes, to be selected at
the time of installation. The desired address is set by depressing and
holding the recessed button until the ON/OFF LED flashes. The code is then
learned from any transmitter when it sends the DHC command."

Thanks. But does anyone know how to discover which address code a
receiver has learnt during that setup method?

It learns the first code transmitted after it is put into programming mode.

Yes, and that was clear from the documentation and stated in your earlier.

But when the switch receiver learnt its code from wall switch controllers
which sent extended codes of the type I listed before such as K[1]012636,
how does one determine which simple X10 code will operate it? And/or how
does one set up Homeseer or any other X10 compatible software to generate
such extended codes? I am asking particularly whether anyone has any
experience of doing this and whether they would explain how they did it.
