Re: X10 PC Interface upgrade

Only for macros though. The CM11 will not store any conditional commands and
that makes it kind of useless for me.

I wrote software for the CM11 but I could never get past the packet
descriptions for the reset data coming out of the thing. I gave up years ago
with the hope to get back at it again.
I figure there was some commercial drivers written that would be an easier
place to start with, next time...or next life maybe?...LOL

Art,

The CM11 does not need the computer to work.
I upload the timer events to it.
I rarely use that comp any more other then to update the time in the CM11
