Re: X10 to Cbus control ?

["max barker" <vworpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Kevins C-Bus gateway, a CM12U X10 pc interface connected to a pc
running the xAP X10 connector, and OPNMAX running the logic  to match a
C-Bus state with an X10 state.
It's pretty stable, two embedded controllers and a pc, needless to say that
the pc is the weakest link of the three. I'm planning on moving the X10
connecter off the pc and onto the OPNX10 embedded platform.

It's a pretty cost efective way of getting plug adaptor control into C-Bus,
the C-bus wireless plug in relays are >=A3180 compared to =A321 for an
X10 =
plug
in appliance module.

Max.
