RE: Homevision X10 Question - dead easy?




I use force commands almost exclusively and have done since I have had HV
which must be 2 years now. I have not had any problems. I have to use these
because of the local control I have available to keep SWMBO happy,
particularly for the light switches.

Thank for the advice Ken.  It seems strange as I believed the force On just
force HV to send an On command nothing more.  I suppose continuously send
an On command to an module may damage it though.

Most of my set up use LD11 anyway and I do conditional lighting based
around the "direct to level ##" command.
