Sorry phil

You also have to use the “Go directly to command” with the LD11

You can either use a number or a variable

The range is 0 > 63

Go directly to 63 seems to directly turn the light on full ,

Go directly to 62 seems to ramp  the light on full ,

Hi Guys,

Just starting to actually look at *programming* HomeVision rather than using
it as an expensive X10 timer ... looking for a pointer as to how to
implement the following:

I have a macro "Cinema Mode" in which the X10 part drops my screen (using an
SW10G), turns on my video scaler (using an LW10) and - with this being the
part I need help with - dims my lights with an AD10/11 (DIN rail dimmer with
preset dim capability). There is a further macro "TV Mode" in which the X10
part reverses that process.

I know I'll need three variables "tv dim" "cinema dim" and "lights were on"
to implement this but I'm just having trouble deciding how to code this as I
want the lights to work semi intelligently but I guess the following is what
I need to do...

Upon execution of the "Cinema Mode" macro:

      IF (lights are on) THEN
            lights were on = TRUE
            tv dim = (current lamp brightness)
            IF (cinema dim < tv dim) THEN
                  SET(current lamp brightness) = cinema dim
            ENDIF
      ELSE
            lights were on = FALSE
      ENDIF

Upon the execution of the "TV Mode" macro:

      cinema dim = (current lamp brightness)

      IF (lights were on = TRUE) THEN
            SET(current lamp brightness) = tv dim
      ENDIF

Just haven't been able to get my head quite round the HomeVision programming
instructions yet to be able to do this ... any starting points would be
greatly appreciated as I've just got a complete mental no go area of even
how to start getting HV to do this!

Cheers

Phil
