RE: Lamp Module Dimming

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

All I can say is that Clipsal C-bus is 100% reliable and incredibly
versatile. With careful planning you can retrofit but its a lot of
work.
It is off course more expensive though but NOT that much more when you
break it down on a per channel basis and resist the temptation of fancy
switching.

Personally I still get a warm fuzzy feeling when I get home and touch
one button on my touch screen in the hall which ramps ups various
lights
around the house...Mmmm,nice. And then when I go to bed I touch another
button on the touch screen upstairs and all the ground floor lights go
out.

Yours...HA Junkie.

Hi,

I get enough range for my needs with LM12 and AM12, but I need some
reliable devices especially for dimming .

Best regards,
Dan

  Yeah,

  I am getting close to ripping a lot of the X-10 stuff out, and
going
home
  build. it's just too damn unreliable. :

  That being said, perhaps I need to get my mains checked. I know
the
X-10
  range I get at the moment is apalling.

  I.

  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
