when i use the smarthome timer software, I can control x10 lights fine, but from ilinc, the commands show up in SDM but nothing happens.


Update: I tied with insteon addresses and they worked, so i know that it is communicating with the computer, just not x10 codes.

Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.

A couple of questions...

- What house code are you using?
- iLinc was tested with X10 modules that are on/off only. Is the X10 module(s) you are trying to communicate to dimmer capable?
- What is the model number of the X10 module?
- When using iLinc to control the X10 device that is unresponse, what is SDM reporting as the command and the response?

Hey,

Thanks for helping me figure this out.

-I have tried house codes B and M, but have not tried A. I think Ill try that next.
-Yes, All the X10 Module I have are X10 Compatable. I Am mostly using X10 Dimmer Light Switches though.
-The model number for the module is RadioShack Plug 'n power Lamp Module Cat. No. 61-2682B. The Model Number for the switch is a Smarthome Smartlinc 2384. Also, I have Dimming Fixture modules on my front lights that are x10 that I would also like to control. Thier model numbers are RD110. The link to that is here: http://www.smarthome.com/2251AC/HomePro ... ule/p.aspx
-The response from SDM was: "PLC:ResponseB2:sendx10=True,B2,AON" and again, nothing happened.


Thanks,
Will

Update: I tried using house code A with A1 and it worked like charm, even on a dimmer module, but ilinc only supports on/off.

Thanks for the update. With your last post I think I found the problem. I'm working on a fix and will post back when it's been released to the app store.

Thanks for posting the problem!
