Re: x10 cm11a PLC 2000SHL question

Sorry. I read that too quickly.

If your email address will allow you to receive a 2.7MB attachment I can
send you a standalone application created with REALbasic that demonstrates
most of the CM11A protocol (no EEPROM functions) that can send the commands
you need.

However, the manual you found also says "(Alternatively, send BRIGHT or DIM
signals to change the lamp's brightness to a comparable level.)". But you
still need a way to send just addresses to lock it in. I don't recall
whether you can just send addresses via the CM11A command line.
