I am almost free of x10 In my system except for my house alarm system. When the system is armed or disarmed or fire etc, iT is programmed to will send an x10 command. The system worked great so long as I had a Boosterlinc 4827 positioned nearby to increase the signal so that the computer running Indigo received it. I then use the received x10 commands to do some triggering.
The issue I now have is that the Boosterlinc 4827 quit working....and discontinued....not available after doing some searching
So now how do I get the x10 commands to the computer running Indigo.....
Option 1: move the Computer with Indigo close to home alarm controller...Not really practical
Option 2: buy a used Vera Lite for $30 on eBay and connect to old 2412U controller I have. Place the Vera controller near the alarm panel. ( much more reasonable). Then use Vera to convert x10 to Insteon signal or even z wave and have signal rebroadcast. I could also use the Vera bridge plug-in possibly?
Option 3?
Would this work?......
Is there a simpler way?
