RE: Parallel Placement of X10 modules question - status reporting

["Dean Smith" <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But surely the signal from the Micro module will also dim the LD11 ?

And the DIM works differently.

LD11 - Hold and the light cycles from bright to DIM and bright again.
Micromodule - Hold and it goes dim to bright. Release and hold again and it
goes bright to dim

I have an LD11 controlled by a micromodule. Works "OK" but not
perfect.

Particualry use of extended X10 to dim to specific levels can get the 2
confused.
The Micromusle doesnt track the status is "all units off" is sent
- which is
a real pain.

reporting


Hi,

having installed a bunch of LD11 dimmers I was thinking of adding
status report in the form of a micromodule hooked up in parallel to the
input momentary switch of the dimmer. This should effectively give me
an on/off/dim level signal when the ld11 is activated manually.
This signal then fed back into homeseer should give me exact status of
the dimmer - or is it?

any thoughts about this or somebody else experienced ?
