Electrische rolgordijnen

(most text was already in Dutch - next time English) Ik heb wat geexperimenteerd met Somfy rolgordijn motoren - buisdiameter 28mm (koppelringen voor andere diameter of vervangen van de juiste buisdiamer is mogelijk) - het was een kwestie van de ketting er uithalen en de buismotor er zo in - deze mot...

Problem with "earth leak switches"

Yes the preferred location to put a X10 signal amplifier is near the distribution panel .... also put your home controller (CM11,HCB, RF-receiver, etc) at this location -so weak X10-signals transmitted from anywhere in the house will be boosted here. The amplifier has no effect on transmitted X10 si...

Problem with "earth leak switches"

It should work - I have a similar setup two earth-leak (aardlek) circuits and many X10 devices behind both aardlek circuits ..... likely weak X10 signals is causing the problem ... going from one group to another group will effect the X10 signal by extra circuit length. Another source of loosing X10...

In most houses only one zone heating (livingroom) is common – the thermostat will control directly the boiler either in on/off or modulation - In case of modulation mode will need a special thermostat – mostly based on the Opentherm protocol. Although some boiler manufacturers using their own protol...

Controlling central heating (HVAC) through X-10

A Chronotherm III thermostat can be easily modified to control the set-point temperature as described in the previous entry ... the panel is connected by a flat cable and just sticking stripped thin wires together with the cable will do the trick - of course you can also solder those connections ......

Power Safer for televisions

I assume it works on monitoring the powerconsumption of the TV if this value will drop dramtically it will decide that the TV was turned - off so it would switch off completely .... so it should work for LCD too .. strange to put the minimum limit on 480 Watt it is pretty high ... I got another mode...

How about controlling drapes?

Praxis heeft weer electrische gordijn sluiters in de aanbieding ca. Euro 120 .... zowel wandschakelaar als afstandsbediening. Met een relais op een appliance module is dit apparaat aan X10 te koppelen.
Verwacht er niet te veel van - het is dan ook 1/8 van de prijs van een high end systeem.
