Yes please Gareth.
I’ve just looked at the floor
plan,
and if I use the RF receiver in the PC the longest run will be 7metres.
I’ll
check on the Radio Agency’s web site to see what that freq is
allocated
to. It may be that it is used in mainland Europe but not in the
UK.
If I can get it to work I can then use
the
Omni II (www.homeauto.com) as the HA
controller which supports extended dim etc AND has decent X10 support,
using
the RF keypads to generate macros.
How long do the batteries
last?
Tim.

All mine are US based. 40x I think - EU units are
433Mhz. I can check if you like...

So
I suppose the answer is to use the Homeseer RF receiver and buy
some
US RF pads. What frequency do they operate
on?
Tim.

I've got Homeseer, and although I haven't
actually
tried this out, I
can't see why it won't work.
At the moment you're going:
IR -> X10 -> Homeseer -> X10 ->
Devices
You've got two sets of X10 delays in there. So
how
about putting an
IR receiver onto a serial port on the Homeseer
machine, which would
give:
IR -> Homeseer -> X10 ->
Devices
Should cut down your delay!
