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.)
Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

I went upstairs where my X10 spare box is and checked the CM11A and it also has the "pass-through convenience outlet."
I don't SELL this stuff... BUT I sure do ENJOY using it!!!
