Hi,
I have been using X10 for many years (about 45 devices) running Cmax 2 on an Ocelot. I am getting tired of constant and growing reliability issues (probably too many "chopping" power supplies in the house) and want to move over gradually to Z-Wave.
I have downloaded HomeSeer (Trial Version for the time being) and the first thing I want to do before I start buying Z-Wave replacement modules, is to have my existing X10 modules running on HomeSeer.
I installed HomeSeer, the X10 plug-in and connected a CM11 on one of my serial lines.
Under the "Installed Plug ins" screen the X10 Plug-in the status column shows OK (in green)
I then defined a couple of my X10 devices and they show up correctly in the "Device list".
I was expecting these X10 devices to react on/off when I click in the "Control Section" of the Device List.
Is my expectation incorrect? Is the CM11 not supposed to pass the X10 codes transparently in both directions? Should I "manually" download some program in the CM11 for this to happen, and if so where can I find it ?
Thanks in advance.
