X10 Lighting controlled by Crestron

Check this out.

I can vouch for the Ocelot with X10 and IR. I have one in my home handling about 40 X10 switches and plug-in controllers. I use time-of-day, sunrise/sunset and x10 line commands in various situations along with some logic. I also have one in my elderly mother-in-laws home to turn on/off the TV and set various channels based on time of day.

A nice product, low cost and relatively easy to program.

If you can afford to have someone put in a Crestron system, why would you use X10/Insteon, and not something nicer?

My thoughts exactly.

I would look into Zwave, Powerline would be a problem in a house with crestron

Try Insteon and the new PLM controller. If you are a Crestron programmer, you might be able to figure out the RS232 commands directly with Crestron processor.

Not as good as a high end hard wired system, but for what you are trying to do, should be just fine (the Insteon portion and hopefully the integration with Crestron).

I was able to figure out the x10 protocol and I can now send x10 lighting commands via an insteon rs232 interface and crestron processor. It's a little unreliable because of the way the commands hva to be sent and the way I programmed it. It needs work but it can be done.

i want to integrate insteon lighting system with crestron... what do i need? a 2413S or a 2410S interface...to control insteon via RS232 and is there any posibility to control it by IP
