Re: Views on X10 Addressing

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

My personal preference is to use a minimum of 1 housecode per room.
E.G.
L=Lounge
B=Bedroom 1
C=Comfort signalling
O=Outside
K=Kitchen
G=Guest bedroom
M=Macros
etc.....

Trying as much as possible to use a housecode that is logical to the room
in
question. (although that's not possible with 3 bedrooms for example!) Then,
any room can have local controllers which are restricted to direct control
of modules within that room. (Although they can of course be used as
triggers for macros which control devices in other rooms...)

Additionally, I prefer never to set any modules to unit code "1",
as various
modules (for example the TM12 tranceiver units), do not have a choice of
unitcode, and can therefore only ever be unit 1...
