RE: RE: LD10/11 and LM12U

[nick.broughton@xxxxxxx]

Primarily I use a CM12U and HomeSeer.  For secondary (manual) control I
use an IR7243 with a one for all remote.  This will be replaced by a
Philips Pronto come Christmas day :-).

Basically I just use them on lamps around the house to provide light
during (waking) hours of darkness.  They dim up and down over a period
of about 10 minutes.  Should they be actually turned off (manually),
rather than dimmed to zero, then they respond to the following days dim
command by first turning on (unless the Mother in Law actually turned
the lamp holder switch off - it happened within about one week of me
installing them!).  I'm not sure if this is a new feature of LM12's?
If that happens it does mean that they dim from 100% to the required
level, but they DO at least come on.

I'm waffling.

bye

Nick

This sounds a clever trick, I guess this is something that is easily
done with a controller?
What controller do you use?

At first I am playing with RF switches that send simple X10 commands
using a TM12 RF receiver.

The controller is a later project!!
