Hi,
I'm planning to move into a new flat in a few
months and am thinking about putting in some X10 stuff, but I wanted to
have a
play round with it first to see what it's capable of. I am planning to set
up
some sort of almost completely computer controlled system and I have a few
questions I wonder if someone might be able to answer:
1. Is the CM12U the best (only?) way to
send/receive X10 commands from a PC?
2. I'm thinking about coding something in
VB
to control everything via the Homeseer ActiveX control. Are there any
obvious
known problems with this set-up? I'm quite happy to have an old PC running
24/7.
3. If I use a wireless remote can I pick
up
commands on the PC (to keep up-to-date status
information)?
Sorry if these questions seem a bit odd, but
if I'm
going to spend some money (always something to try and avoid ;-)) I'd like
to
know.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver.
