SwitchLink Dimmers

How about support for SwitchLink dimmer modules with a provision for their advanced features like preset levels, ramp rate, etc.

I'm not sure if I have any switchlinc's around, but I may look making such a Device later. Since controlling these devices seems a bit esoteric, a HouseBot Device that managed all this would be nice

You should be able to setup some Tasks or Scripts to control the advanced features of these switches using the X10 Controller Device.

The X10 Controller Device allows you to send straight X10 codes, so you could simply send individual commands like O;16, N;16, M;16, etc that will command the switch. I don't think you can send just a "Preset Dim" by itself, so you would need to piggy-back it with the last HC/UC transmission if needed.

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get some time. I have been a HomeSeer user for years now so there is a learning curve.
