What works:

  • X10 OnOff device
  • X10 MS13E and lookalikes sensors (light, movement in one sensor)

What doesn't:

  • Dim and All commands not yet implemented.

  • The app shows all kind of referencing and extending possible in node.js 4.6.0 with Ecma6 , programming it was an excercise for Ecma6 and referencing

    new version on github pending with working dim device
  • DenWDenW Member
    This should work with a TM13 (X10 transceiver), right? That device should translate wireless X10 to powerline X10 and vice-versa. However, X10 devices are not responding at all.
    I also have an X10 wireless button keychain. No reaction from Homey on that with a test flow either.
    Am I missing something here? (Besides a log where I can see what's going on.. )

    this app is made to send x10 signals as you can read what this app can in the read.md not yet implemented is what to do with incoming signals.

    flow triggering added for RF received x10 commands

    Hi, Is there a problem with this X10 App on Homey Firmware Versie: 1.5.0-rc.6, my devices aren't switched anymore since today, while Homey Firmware Versie: 1.5.0-rc.6 was installed last night.
  • JPeJPe Member
    Thanks @Nattelip  after a PTP for >10 minutes and restarting Homey, every thing works again perfectly.

    Any chance on adding dimming for X10?
    (looking for a next step in automation, but I have a lot of dimming X10 modules)

    i dont know but it is already a device in the app ??
  • fkeyfkey Member
    Anyone tested the dimming of that app? The app content states:
     What works:
    • X10 OnOff device
    Dimming is not mentioned...
  • NattelipNattelip Member
    i use the dimming myself on the dim device 
  • NattelipNattelip Member
    which works

    27-12-2016  made pair pages complete dynamic, so code only has to be written once for pairing
                added functionality to Dim device , so it works 

    @fkey ;  reading is very difficult  

  • fkeyfkey Member
    Thanks, I indeed omly read the header not the changelog ( thought the header was up to date)
    getting to know the forum, dont ha p e a homey yet. Precondition for buying is that x10 with dimming would work. (Have kot of dimming modules that still do a fine job)

    So this is good news, new target for my savings: a homey (as soon as thay are available again)

    thanks

    @nattelip,
    can you tell me how dimming is implemented?
    * relative dimming (only incremental DIM/BRIGHT commands, so if a unit is ON and want it to 30% I need to switch it off and with incremental BRIGHT commands upto desired level, or somehow store the current level and calculate the required DIM/BRIGHT commands)
    * absolute dimming (ea Command sets the dimmer to the given setting, so if a unit is ON I can change it to 30% without knowing the current dimmed setting)

  • NattelipNattelip Member
    x 10 is only able by the nature of its coding to send dim or bright commands, the homey inteface is by its nature a slider. so moving slider up  fires a bright command vice versa, no abolute or relative binding bewtween the slider and you, r command .  eaxh x10 dim device reacts with its own percentage dimming and brighting. so you have to find out with trial and error how it eworks with your modules. 


  • NattelipNattelip Member
    there is an x10 sdk2 version of the x10 app on github https://github.com/nattlip/com.jilles.x10.2
  • fkeyfkey Member
    Thanks for the clear explanation. You confirmed what i thought, I had not found any information about absolute dimming for X10 via RF.
    I'll probably have to choose for a hybrid implementation. My cm15pro (x10 transeiver) does send absolute x10 dimming commands via the powerline. i propbaly have to keep my scenes in the cm15pro but trigger them via homey. (Feels simpler then building scenes in homey and somehow log the status)
