Control lamp by "normal use" and x10?
« on: November 02, 2008, 04:59:07 PM »
Sorry for the bad subject.
I am wondering if there was a way to control an object , say a lamp, by the normal way (no x10 connected, so by a lightswitch) and by x10 signals? Any information would be great. Thanks

If I understand your question. Not really. When a standard light switch is OFF there is no way X10 can over ride it. If you replace the standard light switch with an X10 switch, you can control the light at the switch and also remotely.
