Question
How do I use command line arguments to control my modules using Activehome?
Answer
There is a file in c:\program files\home control called x10comm.exe. This program will accept arguments on the command line for control of your X10 modules.
The syntax is as follows:
- To turn a non-dimming module on:
x10comm.exe a1 on
- If it is a dimmable module, then use the following:
x10comm.exe a1 dim to 020%
The dimming percentage is listed as a 3-digit number with the percent sign after it.
