I was curious as to how most people have their exterior lighting hooked up to Meedio. I am not sure how to connect an X-10 device to an exterior light that is controlled by an inside switch? I am still new to this. Any suggestion?



Thanks in adavnce,

I have accent lighting (through an exterior wall plug) and porch light (wall switch) both on Meedio x10.



For the porch light, I actually replaced the interior wall switch with a Leviton x10 dimmer. That way it can come on dim and as it gets darker outside, get brighter. It also goes full bright when something sets off my exterior motion sensor (caddx with x10 interface).



I also replaced the outdoor electrical socket with an x10 one (from x10.com). It doesn't dim, nor does it do anything really except off and on, but for low voltage lighting it works great. I DEFINATELY would not recommend it for indoor use, as it makes loud clicking noises when the power state changes.
