HomeSeer listens to all X10 commands that are sent over your household wiring. You can set events to trigger when a particular command is seen.
For example, in your family room you could have an X10 table top controller set to house code A. The first button would control device A1. When you pressed this button, the command A1 is then sent over your wiring and received by HomeSeer. Instead of setting a device to code A1, you could set an event to trigger on this code. The actions you can then perform are limitless. You could have HomeSeer dim all the lights in the family room in preparation for a movie, turn off all the lights in the house, send E-mail, play a sound, launch an application on your computer, send I/R commands to your A/V equipment, or whatever you want. You set triggers on the device code and the X10 command. This allows you to set triggers on X10 ON and X10 OFF commands for the same device.
The dialog has the following options:
Address
Enter the X10 house code and unit code you wish to trigger this event. Note that you can set the unit code to Any and any unit code will trigger the event as long as the housecode matches.
Command
Enter the command associated with the device. You would normally select either ON or OFF , however, all 16 X10 commands are available. You cannot use the reserved entry. You may select Any to trigger when any X10 command is received.
Days
You may select the days this trigger is valid.
