My Setup

I've been "doing" X-10 since December 2007. I am NO expert. I read the X-10 Community Forum and have studied the writings of Puck, Tuicemen, Boiler, and a host of other folks who ARE experts. Sometimes Fresh Eyes are a benefit to relay things the experts no longer think about. I'm sure I'll state some things that are incorrect – for that I apologize – make a comment or send me an email and I'll try to correct the posting.

Here's my current setup:

  • Dedicated, Always-On, Dell Latitude LapTop – Windows XP-SP3
    • Wired to WRT54G DSL Router – Always-connected to Internet
    • LogMeIn runs at boot
  • AHP v.3.228 with MyHouse, iWitness, OnAlert, and Smart Macros
  • LapTop-connected VA11A – servicing 4 wireless cameras
  • LapTop-connected CM15A with 18" soldered wire extended antenna – plugged into an XTB-IIR (default settings) connected to a dedicated 2-Phase 240v circuit, 9' from main breaker panel.
  • DS7000 using HouseCode "L" and UnitCode "5" for Security
    • 4 Keychain Remotes
    • 2 Security Remotes (1 registered from AHP Macro)
    • 4 MS10A Motion Sensors (all set on 2 detections before trigger)
    • 2 DS10A Door Sensors (set on Minimum delay)
  • V572RF32 Transceiving all but H/C's "L" & "A" – connected to the XTB-IIR I/O port.
  • 2-ea. SR731's
  • 1-TM751 – HouseCode "D"

This will certainly change – I'll try to keep it updated!
