The LT supports X-10, but you need an interface to get the X-10 signal from the LT, onto the powerline. The most common interface is a TW-523 from X-10 USA or the PSC-05 from X-10 Pro.
Thanks. I have ordered the PSC-05. Can you give me the pinouts for the cable? Was the need for an interface mentioned in the installation materials? I didn't see it and thought I read them thoroughly. If not there, it should be. I am bound and determined to get this system working.
Hi Al, and everyone else on the forum. Glad to be here, looks like a good one!
A little about me-
- I spent some time several years ago as a commercial alarm installer with ADT, installing mostly Ademco stuff. I'm a computer teacher now, with a background in electronics.
Anyway, I am in almost the same boat as Al; I have a new Omni LT and am trying to get my X-10 lights to work with it.
- I'm using the "dealer" version of PC Access, V 2.16a. My LT's firmware is 2.12a (do I HAVE to buy a new chip to upgrade it or can I flash it? The update firmware option in the software is greyed out.)
- I have an X-10 pro PSC05 2-way power line interface connected to the X-10 port with an RJ-11 crossover cable (1234-4321)
- I have an active X-10 repeater installed in the breaker box.
- House code is set properly in the LT.
Can't control any lights at all! I know that the PSC05 Interface can "hear" X-10 signals because the light on it blinks when i send out commands from elsewhere, but nothing happens when i try to command with the LT. Not sure what to try next. Anyone have a hint?
How did you do with your X-10 quest, Al?
Thanks!
