How to disable X10 manual turn-on "feature"?

Aug 16, 2005 2 Replies

Hello,



I have a 20 watt halogen lamp that I use to read while in bed.



I power it using a 12-volt power brick. This one is a 60-watt switching powersupply, so it's output is regulated, etc.



It is a nice unit...



I'm using an appliance module to turn it on, and off. But it prefers ON...!



In fact when I use an X10 Maxi-controller to turn it off, I can count to



4 and it turns itself back on again!!

Great if you're afraid of the dark... No more than 4 seconds of darkness allowed!



Thanks X10...!



So am I correct to presume that if I mod the module, and remove it's manual turn-on feature, I may get it to work properly??



If so...



Can somebody point me to the how-to site, showing me how to preform said mod?



Thanks, in advance!



Jack :)
