Rabbit:
Greetings!
Here is an X10 project for controlling your Sunsetter awning using AHP and X10 Commander.
Parts:
(1) Spare Sunsetter Remote - SOMFY #74300
(3) XM13A or XM16A addressable X10 camera power supplies with extended wiring from cameras. (Can also use XM10A with appropriate F-M adapter)
(3) SPST relays (5-12 VDC) - I used Magnecraft 172DIP-5 (5 VDC) Reed Relays SPDT. ( I recommend using Magnecraft 172DIP-7 (12 VDC)
(3) 14 Pin I.C. sockets (if using Magnecraft 172DIP-5 or 172DIP-7 Reed Relays)
(1) Small piece of perforated circuit board.
(1) Enclosure.
(1) 4 conductor phone cord with RJ11 plugs (as thin as possible). Black-Red-Green-Yellow
(1) Female-Female RJ11 phone coupler.
Tools:
#10 Torx security bit
Wire cutters
Wire Stripper
Small Philips head screwdriver
Soldering iron & Solder
Software:
AHP 3.318

Step 1: Modify Sunsetter Remote.
Open Sunsetter remote using the small philips head screwdriver.
Remove Torx screw holding down circuit board. Carefully remove circuit board from remote housing.
