RE: X10 DM10 (External PIR) Configuration

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Robert,

The DM10x has a dusk-dawn photo sensor that's meant to send signals to
tell you whether it's light or dark.

HOWEVER, this is meant to be on the same housecode, but "unit
code+1",
so if you have the DM10 sensor on K10, the dusk-dawn will be on K11.

If you set the sensor to K16, however, I'm not sure whether it'll
"roll
round" to K1, or whether it'll do something bizarre.

If you set it to K13, and the extra signals come from K14, then I think
that's your answer.

If you set it to K13, and the extra singals DO come from K6, then I'm
stumped.

Subject: [ukha_d] X10 DM10 (External PIR) Configuration


Folks,

Anyone here got a X10 External PIR (think it's called DM10)?? Used to
be
used most commonly as part of the X10 RoboRex setup.

Anyway, I've got one - not for use with RoboRex - which I've been
trying
to use as plain old PIR outside - but I can't understand its
configuration (and, unsurprisingly, the docs don't help).

If I configure the PIR to, say, address K16 - when someone goes past, I
get an "K16 K On" sequence - which is exactly what I would
expect.

But I then get seemingly random On and Off messages relating to K9 !!

I know the K9 is related to the PIR 'cos if I change the K16 address
to,
say, K13, the K9 changes to K6 (iirc).

Obviously, using Homeseer or the like I can just ignore the the
spurious, random messages - and just use the K16 to drive what I need -
but can anyone shed any light on the 'phantom' addressing ??

Cheers,
      Robert
