RE: Views on X10 Addressing

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I've allocated one house code per room with two consecutive house codes
"reserved" for the garage (AV Room when I get round to doing it)
as I expect
to have quite a few devices needed in there.

There are some housecodes which I know won't be fully utilised (one
housecode is allocated to the airing cupboard for example) and in those
cases I *could* merge "roomcodes" so that the stairway/landing,
airing
cupboard and bathroom all share one housecode but even doing it with all
rooms seperate I still have a complete housecode for the loft, another for
anything outside and another for testing purposes and still a couple spare
so there should be enough for everything.

I keep an Excel spreadsheet with one Worksheet per housecode (roomcode) and
each device logged in the spreadsheet. Each entry in the spreadsheet has
the
module type (AD/LD/AW/LW), whether the device is an input or an output (so
that I don't have to remember the module types from the codes as I have a
bad memory for product codes), whether it supports dimming or not and how
many modules are using that address (for example in my computer room I have
two lamp modules sharing an address).

It's very easy to lose track of what modules you have at what addresses!
