How to: Add X-10 switches to version 2.7.7 Alpha

[Moshe]

What are the steps for adding X-10 switches to the tree of version 2.7.7?

 

Thanks

Assuming one has downloaded the add-on module, from the admin console showing your main tab, choose:

 

link management>>new insteon/a10/x10 device

 

In the pop-up window, give your device a name of your choice, in the address field, add house code and number (example A12), in the device type choose generic X10 device. Worked for me.

 

You can move the new device to folders if you wish. In programs, the device name shows up in conditions and actions. I understand you cannot use X-10 devices in scenes.

Thanks for your response. I thought that the x-10 module was already in version 2.7.7.

There is a post about this in the X-10 forum under the index. It is the sticky one on top.

 

I understand the X-10 support is an add-on module. One requires, however, v2.7.7 to be able to access the module. I was unable to get the module on 2.7.6.
