Hello, I am trying to use the meedio connector... I have some question: The demo module provided is the only way to obtain the properties values on a screen? My needs are not to send commands (I can send commands with HBControl.exe...). I use a theme based on HDeeTV and I would like to have some pro...

Thank you everybody for your help!!! Finally I found the problem: the cable!!! I had to reassemble a new serial cable and it finally started to work!!! My fault was the pin assignment (I followed the scheme for a male connector but it was a female!!! :) Just because the TX signal was on the middle p...

Richard, I am using the last HB version. My com is COM1. I did this test: I tried to change the volume with the remote and I check with a voltmeter the current at the RS232 plug (pin 3 and 5 of the long raw). I mesaured a change in the voltage when changing volume! So the cable is vorking I assume.....

Hi Richard! Yes, I did all the steps. My com is 9600 8 1 none and I configured it all... I have the received data property, but it doesn't show anything!!! And, also, even sending commands works 50% of the tentatives... But with the RS232 plugin for Essentials sending commands works perfectly. The r...

Hello Everybody, I am trying to control my DENON receiver with Housebot and the RS232 device. I have some problems: 1) I can't receive data 2) I manage to send commands but not always. Randomically it works, but not more than 50% of the tries. The cable is working, because with the RS232 Meedio Esse...

Thank you to you both for you reply...

I will have to buy one and try sooner or later...

Ok Talisman, BUT:

if you switch ON the light with the momentary external switch, the status property of the light in HB does change? I mean, I would like to know from HB which is the state of every light in every moment. Will it be possible?



Thank you,

Dakkar

Hi Scott, I am interested in this product: http://media.lodestar.be/intellihome/manuals/LWM1.pdf It is a 2 way dimmer. It can send it state to other X10 devices. What I want to know is: will it send its state back to the CM11 interface? Will I be able to know from HB if someone has (for example) swi...

Dakkar, I've had a quick look at the Marmitek info on their website and in the UK resellers' websites for the same module, but unfortunately there isn't enough detail to be sure. I can only suggest that you e-mail Marmitek and ask them if the LW12 module responds to same extended X10 dimming comman...

Hi Talisman, I have some questions about the SW10. The SW10 can be controlled with the CM11 or with the integrated switch. My question is: if you use the integrated switch changing the state of the projector screen, does the SW10 communicate it to the CM11? What happen if you lower the screen with t...

Talisman, I think I have some good news for you. Read this: http://www.meedio.com/forum/about24037.html&highlight=action+keyboard It seems it works! I tried with this action in the main.template files: <action name="light-on" global="true" command="light-on"> <state...

Scott, thank you for your replpy.

My next question: do I have any alternative to the Marmitek CM11/CM12 for the european market? Maybe something USB? Where to buy?



Thank you,

Dakkar

The correct model name is: HAU-CON-CM11 (without the "A")... :)

But what about the USB version?



Thank you,

Dakkar

Intastella, exactly which of the Marmitek X10 dimming modules are you using? I'm asking because a number of the European mfr's do implement Leviton style dimming commands (extended X10) - for example the LD11 DIN rail unit available in the UK responds well to 'Leviton' dim to set level commands - y...

Hello Scott,



I would just want to know if HB is compatible with this controller:

They have also a USB version of it. Will HB be compatible with both the Serial and USB version?



Thank you very much,

Dakkar
