Hello, I added the dim/bright transmisions and the unit is fully operational now. One of the things I notice now is the slower reaction to the button commands. Transmission of an X10 On command takes about 900ms (2 times 22 cycles for the address and 2 times 22 cycles for the function, 6 cycles in b...

Hi, Just for those who are interested in the hardware part: I have changed the code in my X10 receive unit in such a way that it reacts (transmits) to a status request and also as a result of a button push. It transmits the data on one of the PIC 16F630 pins, just as ones and zeros. The data is pick...

Hello, The current way of getting a 5V power supply which can handle about 10ma (for a X10 transmitter you need about 40mA), is by using the principle as described in an application not from MicroChip (AN954). For 40 mA this means a 1uF capacitor that is able to handle 350V. Which means it is large....

Hi, Last year I have put some effort in building a website to communicate some of my X10 work. It's very simple and I never finished it. Nevertheless it gives some information on the X10 hardware. Here is the link: http://members.chello.nl/h.alink1/index.htm . I have been putting a lot of effort in ...

The unit is based on a PIC (16F630). The casing is from PacTec (Farnell). The switches are microswitches with a cap, pcb mounted).
Here is a picture of the pcb (this is a screen controller with 2 triacs, but the dimmers look simular):

Hi,

Yes I'm willing to share the schematics (let's talk about that via e-mail).
I have 2 lamps connected to the unit. The 3rd one is for the 220V input. Here is another picture (of another unit, with one pusbutton for local control).

Hi,

I have build my own "snoerdimmers" See picture.
They can be X10 controlled and locally controlled (ON/OFF/Dim/Bright)

Met Xbee devices kun je gebruik maken van de API interface. De 0x11 en 0x91 API bieden de mogelijkheid om profile ID, ClusterID, Endpoints etc te communiceren. De data payload van deze commando's kan bestaan uit ZCL (Zigbee Cluster Library) commando's. Als op deze manier ZCL commando's worden verstu...

Hi, I have build a few X10 Led controllers. The most advanced one is a 3 channel controller. X10 commands: ON/OFF/DIM/BRIGHT. The channels can also be controlled locally. Each channel can drive up to 1A and a number of LEDs can be put in series (depending on the power supply used). It uses switching...

For a window with length 196 cm and a height of 140 cm I paid 257,- This price includes the blinds itself. (supplier: GAMA, date: 22-01-03).

Hard work! It's my own design.

Hi, I have several DIY units that can be used as "in wire" X10 controllers. The picture http://www.domoticaforum.eu/uploaded/Han/200851915485_contr2.jpg shows one with a single pushbutton that enables local on/off and dimming control. When X10 ON is sent to the unit, the light comes up to ...

I have a Zigbee development kit from Maxstream.
I'm using the Zigbee (serial) interface for connecting an ultrasonic wind speed and direction measurement unit http://www.domoticaforum.eu/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=270 to my home automation system. I'm emulating the Oregon Scientific protocol.

Hello,

The CM11A protocol document still contains a number of errors related to extended code transmissions.
See:

Can save another week of decoding.
