I just installed the Activehome kit and have created basic macros. I have an x-10 wall switch and lamp module. The wall switch controlls the livingroom lights and the lamp module controls the lights on my audio rack.
I have created a macro to dim the lights and turn off the rack, and another to bring the lights to 50% and turn on the rack.
The problems are as follows:
First : The lights do not dim using the macro, they simply turn off. I was going for a theater feel...you know, when the movie starts the lights dim. How do I make them dim to 0%?
Second: When I activate the second macro the lights come on full, then dim to 50%; this is VERY blinding after spending two hours in a dark room watching a movie. Is there a way to have the lights go from zero to 50% without going to full?
Third: Is there a way to activate the macros via Windvd??
Thanks for your help.
