Hi,
I've downloaded a beta version of the Commander-X and so far I have only created a PANIC button (flash all lights for 20 times). It works good and I'm amazed.
My next project is to create a LOGIC-GATE that will check for the time before it turns on/dim some lights. What I wanted it to do is the following:
As I press a button on the Pronto to watch DVD, it will also send an infared X10 code (A10 ON), but before it actually turn on/dim the lights, I want it to check the time whether it's appropriate to turn on the lights. (You know, I sometimes watch movies during daytime)
As for the coding, I think it'd look something like this:
IF Time>Dawn THEN A1 DIM TO 50%,A2 OFF, A3 OFF
I wonder what the difference is between "DIM TO" and "BRIGHT TO" as the ceiling light will be turned on from OFF. The ceiling light switch is just a cheapo X10 dimmer switch (aka no advance dimming)
Also, if you wouldn't mind sharing your scripts with me, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Simon
