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.
