Title: Xligts and X10
Post by: Orion on August 09, 2016, 08:42:17 AM

Thinking of converting my display from LOR to Xlights.

Here is my issue.

In LOR using a CM-11A:

4:00 x10 turns on house lights (inside and out).
5:00 x10 turns off house lights and turns on “Tune To Signs”  and misc. power supplies throughout the display.
10:00 Turns off “Tune To Signs” and turns house lights (inside and outside) back on.
11:59 Turns all house lights off.

I have tried to searched  “X10” and didn’t come up with much on how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a solution..
download ActiveHomeVista. This allows you to send X10 commands via a command line.
Then, assuming you use Xlights Scheduler to run your show, you can create a script in your playlist to execute the commands.

I'm using this method to have X10 turn on and off my transmitter and to update our website with an ON/OFF notice for the show.
