Title: CM12 problem?
Post by: Jon87 on May 18, 2010, 08:47:02 AM

Hi. I'm using homeseer to control a lamp which is plugged into an x10 module, this works fine. But if i plug the lamp into the CM12, it is always on. Is there a way to toggle (or dim) the output of the CM12?

Thanks, Jon

Welcome to the forums.

We don't have much experience with the overseas modules here but I did find something out. Hope it helps you out.
It is a pass through outlet and is not controlled.

The outlet on the CM12U is merely a pass-through convenience outlet.  It's not controlled by the CM12U in any way.

(The CM12U is the 230V, 50Hz  UK equivalent of the North American CM11A.)

I went upstairs where my X10 spare box is and checked the CM11A and it also has the "pass-through convenience outlet."
