I currently have an Elk M1 gold system with an X-10 powerline module plugged into the main board. System is 10 or 15 years old and all modules have the latest software. I have an X-10 active bridge plugged into the 220v dryer outlet to connect the two phases.
I think I'm finally fed up with dealing with the X-10 devices, so I've decided to start slowly replacing X-10 devices with Z-wave. I plan on buying the following:
M1XSLZW interface
VRC0P-1LW
VRUSB-1US
Some Z-wave dimmers and switches.
My questions are:
Can I have both X-10 and Z-Wave devices controlled by the M1 at the same time?
Can both the M1XSLZW and the X-10 powerline be connected at the same time? It seems so, as the M1XSLZW will plug into the M1DBH data bus hub and the X-10 plugs into the main board.
Can I control both from my M1 rules? I will need to edit the rules as I change from X-10 devices to Z-Wave devices.
I (think I) know that I will need to set up the Z-wave network with the Z-wave primary controller first, then import into the M1 - and I'll need to do this each time I replace an X-10 with a Z-wave. Correct?
Thanks,
Ned
