Brian Rees Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Hello, This is my first year using the lights o Rama. So far, everything is looking good. I have the CTB-16D being controlled with the Director Card (DC-MP3 )My final obstacle is to turn on / off my 'automatic' pole light. I considered purchasing a x10 wall switch and having LOR turn it off before the show and then back on after the show. (My township gets a bit upset when those poles are off)Can the Director card control the x10 wall switch? My computer would not be controlling the X10 device. Would that cause an issue?What would I need besides the Wall switch?Thanks,Brian
Guest wbottomley Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 As far as I know, the director card cannot control X-10.
Mark Steele Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 The DC-MP3 will not control X10. In order to utilize X10 devices, you need a CM11A interface connected to a serial port (or USB to serial adapter) on the computer running the show. You can pick one up for less than $20 on Ebay or other sites like this: http://www.thehomeautomationstore.com/cm11a.htmlMark
