UK X10 Appliance Module with Status reporting
Title: UK X10 Appliance Module with Status
reporting
As
one who always laments the lack of features in UK X10 products I
thought i'd mention - the RF transceiver module acts as a UK
appliance module and includes 2 way status reporting - (you can
interrogate it for its current state). If you want such a feature then
g buy the HomeBase Take Control bundles - also includes a lamp module
for £20. Great value of course - oh no not another HomeBase
thread...
Three
points
i) The
transceiver can only be addressed as unit number 1 but any of the 16
Housecodes - so you can have a max of 16 in one house. This makes them
difficult t control from a device that has a preset Housecode eg the
timers, switch controllers etc. But they are easy t control from a
computer / HV based system. Anyone got a workaround to this ?
ii) You
may want t disable the transceiver - it can certainly be made very
insensitive by removing it's antenna. They are pretty deaf
anyway.
iii)
The units do not pro-actively send their state ie if you change the
state from the switch on the front of the unit they don't send any X10
info.
