Harmony + X10 = Success !!!
I just purchased an Infrared minicontroller (IR7243) which convert IR signal to X10 RF commands.
I converted the X10 code from a Pronto CFF file using the Harmony's "Infrared Analysis Center"
As there is no appropriate device family yet on the Harmony's website, I "added" the IR7243 as a new monitor (I guess laptop would even be better), didn't look for new activities of course, and didn't characterize it.
I created my own commands: "All Light On", "All lights Off", "1" to "16", "On", "Off", "Dim", and "Bright", ...
for example: I remapped the ZAP button in "Watch a DVD" to perform a suite of X10 orders to switch off the lights I don't need, turn on and dim the ambiance light before the movie starts... nice.
I'd recommend to embed a specific X10 menu to each of your existing activities rather than having a separate activity for X10, since this latter would turn off all your TV, DVD, ... devices when "changing activity"
I hope that Harmony tech support will include that product family soon.
Please reply with your own X10/wireless experiment here !
Cheers!
