Controlling a macro with a Harmony 1100
« on: March 05, 2010, 03:37:18 PM »

Greetings,

I recently purchased a Harmony 1100 and got everything working withonly a few minor hiccups. I have set up a macro to control the lights in my TV room that I can control with X10 HR12A remote. I would like to control everything including the lighting with the 1100, but can't figure how to do it. My X10 system is based around the Activehome Pro with the CM15A module. I tried using a IR543 but that seems to lockup the CM15A. I thought if I could find something that could take the 1100's IR and change it in to RF that the CM15A could receive and understand (as it does the HR12A) I'd be in business. So far, no luck. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I use an older Harmony 680 and a IR543 to control my home theater lighting. This can be done.. ether using a macro programed into the remote.. and transfered to the powerline by the IR543. Or you could send a single signal from your remote IR to the IR543 to the CM15A via the powerlines. Then let the the CM15A control the lights.

Be sure to allow for some needed delays in the CM15A if you decide to let it control the lighting setup.

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I never thought about the delays, but will give it a try.

Thanks again.
