Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I just purchased an CM11A to use with LOR to turn my static displays.Do I just plug it in and use it? Or do I need to install a driver or something from X10?My thought is that it is serial so it should just work.I started playing around with the Active Home Pro software with the new USB CM15A module. Typical X10 - problems witht the USB driver and terriable support.At first I thought USB would be a better way to go. Now I'm not so sure, (driver issues).I'm now beginging to think serial is a better way to go. I hope Don continues to supprot serial in the next ver for this very reason.
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 What I did was shut down my computer, attach my CM11A to the serial port and plug it into the powerline. Then I booted up the computer and Light-O-Rama. Then I used the hardware utility to see which com port it was on. After that I transmitted a few commands just to make sure it was working, and it was. Basically all you have to do is configure the channles in the sequence with the appropiate address.
