I've had X-10 modules and a transceiver for years. I now have a TSU3000 and an IR543AH and want to get a little fancier with dimming levels.

I downloaded the user manual for Lamplinc modules. To program them it says to send codes such as "M16", "O16", etc., which I presume are house codes.

I don't want to order the Lamplinc modules unless I can program them. I have a couple rather basic questions, but bear with me I'm new to this "fancy" X-10 stuff. :)

QUESTION 1: I have the basic and extended codes that came with the IR543AH loaded in my TSU3000 config file. Am I correct that I can send "M16", or whatever, by pressing the "M" and then the "16" button from the basic X-10 code screen?

QUESTION 2: Will the extended codes (50% DIM, etc.) work with the Lamplinc modules?

Larry,

You are correct you send M and then 16. You do not have to send M again unless you want to change house codes. The way to look at this is that you are turning the dial on the to of the IR543AH via IR. It will stay on the house code you send it until changed to a different one.

Yes the LampLincs will respond to extended code. You can also program in scenes with them and use regular X10 commands.

Hi Bill,

I have a question about the LampLinc modules. Do you need to have one per lamp?

Mike

As long as the total wttage is within the module's rating, you can control more than one lamp with a single unit.
