Question to HomeVision users... Jerry Swords Mon, 28 Jun 1999 08:13:07 -0400

Mark and I have been unable to get ECS to properly track X-10 powerline activity (from remote transmitters) when using my TimeCommander Plus as the PLC interface.  The TC+ also dims lamps using rather large jumps in dim level rather than a smooth transition from one dim level to another.  Fortunately, the TC+ and attached I/O expander are working great for digital and analog I/O and relay output.

I want to add 2 way IR capability to ECS, and would like to use the HomeVision PC for this purpose, as well as use it for the PLC interface.  Does ECS dim and brighten lamps smoothly when using HomeVision as the PLC interface?  Or is there a noticeable jump from one level to the next?

I'd hate to purchase the HomeVision PC, only to find that I still need to tie up an additional serial port for decent PLC interface performance (the CM11A is working fine.)

Thanks,
Jerry Swords
