I have a few x10 appliance modules laying around, so thought it will be fun to integrate it into the Elk M1G.
Questions on how to install, after searching...does this sound correct?:
1) Turn off the M1G panel
2) Get the PSC05 unit, with a correct RJ11 cable, PLUG it into PLC J5 port on the M1G. Set JP2 jumper to 2way
3) Plug the PSC05 into a nearby AC outlet
4) Power on the M1 Gold Panel
5) Go to RP Software, and start the task/config under LIGHTING
Is that all there is to it? Sounds too simple, am I missing something?
Does the PSC05 need any enrollment? Or will the RP software know how to integrate it, automatically???
Further questions/ non install related:
1) What is the difference/ benefit from PSC05 or TW523 X10 unit?
2) I have a X10 TRANSCEIVER TM751 module, is this still required for the X10 to work throughout my house? And if so, does it matter where I plug the transceiver? (upstairs, downstairs, must be near the PSC05??)
3) For a ~3000 sqft two-story home, will I need a "bridge" or "coupler" ??
4) I know for a fact I have a 240V wiring to my electric oven. From reading and searching the net, the "quick test" is to turn the DRYER ON to get two-phases coupled.....my electric oven seems to be plugged in, and the LCD clock is blinking.
Without the electric oven physically being turned ON and heating, since its plugged in and LCD Clock is lit, does that mean its "operating"?
---Basically, Im fairly new to the x10, and I would like to have every single outlet in the house "coupled" "bridged" or working, and responding to the M1
thanks in advance, this should be a fun project and Im very much looking to getting started. Also, please tell me what parts to order, if needed.
Oh and also, any idea where I can buy or make the RJ11 compatible cable?
