#TW523 X-10 Gadget
Hi everyone,
I have recently come across a new X-10 gadget. It's model number is
TW523, and it is a basic X-10 transceiver, in that that it receives and
transmits raw X-10 codes through the AC power lines. It is inexpensive and
inherently a powerful piece of hardware, but it requires rather
sophisticated software to make it useful. It is sold with PC software, but
nothing in th eway of Amiga software, or even source code. I was wondering
if anyone knows of anyone planning to write something for this gadget on
the Amiga. It's major advantage over the standard Computer Interface
chiefly used, is that this new device can recognize signals to X-10 modules
sent by other devices, and can theoretically keep a record of the state of
all X-10 units in a house, thereby allowing the user to program other
devices to be triggered by the activation of another device. The "gadget
potential" is great for this thing, and at $29 a piece, it seems a viable
project for some smart programmer….
Anyone hear about any rumors (or should I just start my own <g> )?
