Optional A10/X10 Firmware Module - Universal Devices ISY-994i User Manual

Stop program 'Stairway Motion Timer'
In this example, motion at either the top (X-10 M1) or the bottom (X-10 M3) of the stairs
will turn the stairway light on. When the timer expires, the stairway light will be turned off,
but only if all basement lights are off. If any basement lights are on, the stairway light will
not be turned off, though it will still turn on in response to motion (for example, if someone
starts down the stairs).
This example shows several additional things. First, the load may be a scene rather than
just an individual light in order, for example, to keep all the controllers in sync, such as
switches at the top and the bottom of the stairs. It also shows how the enabling/disabling
of motion control can be affected by other than just manual control; in the above example
all of the basement lights are automatically monitored by ISY to determine whether or not
to allow the motion timer to turn the stairway scene off. And one more very important
feature is shown: when the motion control becomes disabled, the timer program is
stopped, just in case it was already running. For example, someone starts down the stairs
and the motion turns the scene on and starts the timer. The occupant reaches the lower
level and turns on some basement lights, which disables further motion control. But the
timer is already running and would turn the stairway scene off if it were not stopped.
All of these features may be combined with any of the previous examples, and this just
scratches the surface. The possibilities are practically endless, if a little imagination is used.

14.3 Optional A10/X10 Firmware Module

14.3.1 Overview
If you would like to do programmatic control such as when "x happens then send X10",
then all you have to do is to use the Send X10 statement under Actions section in Programs.
You can also sense X10 signals by using X10 Received statement in conditions. These are all
out of the box functionality and do not require this module. The only caveat is that PLM
does not support Extended X10 commands such as variations of preset dim.
If you want to be able to name your X10 devices so that they show up on the device tree,
and then you can reference them by name, then you would need this module (A10/X10
Module) which you can purchase by going through the Admin Console. Please note that the
function of this module is purely cosmetic and does not add any additional functionality.
Furthermore, this module does not support Dim/Bright.
