I have a question:
I'm a new user to this X10 stuff, and have had good success using the PR511 motion sensors to trigger macros. But I cannot seem to receive a trigger from a simple WS12A.
I can use the WS12A fine. The light I trigger can be turned on and off and dim either at the switch or through the AHP software.
I set the WS12A to B13. In the software, when I turn B13 on and off, it properly triggers macros I trigger from B13. But when I physically operate the switch, I don't get any trigger.
Does this not work this way? How do I cause a trigger alert when the WS12A is activated? There was very little documentation with the switch.

Read: PLC / RF Transmitters, Receivers and Transceivers (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=9899.msg57801#msg57801) Only Transmitters can trigger macros.

How are your LINKed PR511s working out?

Basically the switch is a one way device and does not send a signal when manually changed. The links provided by TTA should give you more details.
