Matt,
This past week you had kindly answered some very basic questions for me about using the PowerLinc USB with Indigo. I went ahead and got the 1132U rather than wait for a possible Indigo upgrade that would store the schedule in a newer Powerlinc that allowed this.
As you know, I'm your entry-level kind of customer who only needs basic functioning. I am just now getting underway and have found that at least two of my X-10 devices don't get ANY signal when activated from both Time/Date and Devices Indigo screens (have to wait for dark to assess the outdoor lights).
One X-10 in question is a wired wall socket that triggers a desktop fountain, the other is a regular lamp module. Both still work fine from the X-10 controller pad - -and both devices indicate they're getting power in the Indigo status bar. I might mention that the lamp module is in a power strip, as wall options are taken up with home theater components.
I tracked down your X-10 troublshooting info, but remain confused. If the signals are already received properly from my X-10 controller, shouldn't this mean that the further hassle and expense of filters, etc. is not necessary?
I have set all my devices to 'Lamp Module,' as there is no 'wall socket' type option. Most X-10s seem to function just fine.
I must confess that the whole 'Trigger Action' aspect of Indigo confuses me. For basic device On/OFF/DIM, etc. functions it seems that the Time/Date Actions serves my purposes.
I want to finally disable my old PowerMac, Mousehouse software and X-10 interface with serial connect. . . and have Indigo and the iMacG4 do it all. . . . but sadly for the present, it seems I've got some issues to solve.
Thanks in advance for your help.
