Title: remote chime volume adjust
Post by: mike k on December 09, 2004, 02:06:30 PM: Does anyone know if the volume level of the
x10 remote chime can be adjusted? I would
like to turn it down as even with a homemade
insulated box I built around it,it is too
loud! I have it inside the house and I want
it to alert me and not the prowlers out in
the yard. Thanks

Site has all kinds of X10 modifications
including adding a volume control to a chime
module. Note: Voids warantee and remember
that most modules are line powered so be
carefull not to allow the power to be
exposed to the outside world.

mine on an extension cord and laid it on
the carpet face down behind the couch,
muffled it enough so it didn't make the dog
jump into the ceiling or startle me out of
my thong.
