RE: Re: Remote Control Lighting TCL Solution

["Ben McCormack" <ben.mccormack@xxxxxxx>]

Hi

X10 is not going to be possible

DIN x10 dimmers are not feasible
And the 2 switches mean that x10 wall switches are not feasible

The TLC dimmers seem to be a good and cheap solution to a simple
problem.

My solution - (not yet fully wired up) is to use an IR X10 controller to

control my X10 dimmers from the Pronto. The pronto will send one command
to
set the scene and the controller will issue loads of preset dims.

I've only got one dimmer wired up so my HA is very embryonic. But I
already
have plans that require all other lights to be X10-able !!!

For the price of some of those IR lighting modules you can do a more
flexible
X10 system.
