Re: Lamp Module Dimming

["Dan" <dtoma@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a brand new LM12 module from an Active Home Kit
(CM12+LM12+AM12).
I cannot use it because a lot of times it latches at full brightness
(nothing happen when click on LAMP OFF) and I need to disconnect the power
in order to stop it... then .. again...
Sometimes it can be dimmed, but to an arbitrary value (not related to the
entered DIM value).
I don't know what to say, because for that reason I cannot use it in my
home (because of the chance that the light goes on by himself)..

Very disappointed ... this is my first X10 kit and practically only the
AM12 module is reliable enough.

I think I will try to build one by myself, using a PIC.

Best regards,
Dan

  Has anyone found any other ways of dimming a standard LM12 lamp
module
  using Homeseer, other than the boring old Standard Dim ?

  There's really tempting things like Leviton Dim and Preset Dim, but
none
  of them seem to work. All I ever get a lamp at full brightness and
then
  a dim down to 50% say. I can't make it dim up to 50% from off,
without
  the full brightness step.

  I've even tried turning the lamp on at Dim 0% then then dimming up
to
  50%, but I still get full brightness first.

  Is this all we can get in the UK, or have I missed something ?

  Thanks
