I'm not really using an AM t turn it off,
more
like t turn it on as an alarmclock. Admitedly, for it t work as an
alarm
clock the TV must be left on (rather than standby) while the AM is turned
off
(otherwise it powers back in standby). That all works fine.
This
morning however I used the remote t go t standby and then tried t turn
it off
with the mini-timer. I originally suspected d dgy homeseer
programming by
myself!
It's als partly to save power! Well
spotted. What's the power consumption of an 'Off' appliance module
compared t a 10 year old TV in standby? I'm sure I must be saving,
but if
this was my primary reason I'd agree that I was a bit sad(!), but as a
secondary
advantage of having the set on an AM, it must be worth doing?
Now if I could get round t finishing those IR
modules and then interfacing them t Homeseer and Ian stopped reading all
these
emails and tested his feedback protection system and ran some more cat5 I
could
have IR distribution and just bring the thing out of standby by issuing an
X-10
command from the mini-timer :-) Phew. Now who's the weakest
link in
there? Clue - it's got something to d with having t lift the hall
floor
t get some more cat5 t the living room, now that I've reserved the last
one
for my DDAR.

control
Wire
a table lamp int the same plug with a 15W bulb in it. The AM will see a
constant load rather than the varying load of the TV's PSU and not switch
on.
Easiest method is open the module and snip the
link.
If
the TV can be put on standby it is obviously remote control so why are you
turning it off with an AM ?
If
its t save the power it uses on standby you are probably wasting your time
because the module will use some power itself

I've recently put an Appliance Module on the
TV
in the bedroom(thanks Homebase). When I use the mini-timer on the
bedside table (or any other method) t turn the TV off, it works
UNLESS
the TV is in standby, in which case it comes straight back
to standby.
Homeseer is unaware of the modules reversion t
On status, so I'm guessing local control is causing it. Why?
And
short of disabling local control what can I d about it?
TV is an old Sharp model if that's at all
relevant.
Thanks
