RE: [misterhouse-users] Dimming revisited

(CC’d back to the list in case anyone finds it useful..)

They are hard-wired receiver modules from X10Pro that actually go in the
ceiling box (see http://www.homeautomationnet.com/X10pro/x10-receivers.asp).
I then use wall-mounted controllers like the X10Pro XPT (see
http://www.homeautomationnet.com/X10pro/x10-controllers.asp) to control the
lights. The problem that I was having with the regular rocker switch wall
controllers is that (except for the expensive 2-way controllers) they did
not send anything down the line when someone pushed them to indicate that
the state had changed. My computer simply had no way to know that the light
had been turned on (or off).

What do you mean by putting them "IN-LINE"?

Hello.. I have searched through old archives and cannot seem to find a
definitive answer to this: how do I get mh to distinguish where a dimming
function comes from? I am setting my house up with inline X10 modules so
that X10 requests are always sent down the line so that I can keep statuses
on device states without having to use 2-way devices. The problem that I’m
having with mh, and where the list seems to have left the topic, is that the
dimming function is only identified with a house code. I know that it must
be possible to do this.. Homeseer does it.

Thanks,

Rog
