Title: Anybody got a PRS511 lying around?
Post by: Dan Lawrence on April 12, 2013, 08:13:29 PM

My PRS511 died Thursday and X10 no longer makes it.  Anyone have one just lying around?  If you do, I'll pay for the shipping to Baltimore.

Forget it.   I scrapped the PRS511 and bought a new unit for my front porch that will work with X10.

Does it output X10 commads or do you hook a Power Flash module to it (motion detector has a relay closure output). If the latter where did you get it? I was never happy with my old PR511 range.

My PRS511 was run by X10 to turn it on and off.   Last Thursday it stopped totally, neither X10 or by hand it refused to work.    I bought a new wall light for the porch which can be run by X10.  I bought the PRS511 from a dealer up in Carney (a suburb of Baltimore) who sold X10 until X10 USA refused to let him sell Active Home Pro items.  He sold off 90% of his stock. I bought a bunch of modules (pre-soft-start) from him, so I built up a large amount of modules that will keep me running for years.

What a score!
