X10CONFIG(5) X10CONFIG(5)
Housecode is a case-insensitive letter A-P (or a-p).
Devices can be 4 things:
1. A single number (example 1)
2. A group of numbers separated by commas (example 1,2,14,15)
3. A range separated by a dash (example 1-8)
4. A combination of 2 and 3 (example 1-8,14,15)
Module_type is optional and defines for Heyu the attributes of the particular kind of module assigned to
the Housecode|Unit.
Heyu uses this information to determine what state the module should be in when the module receivesany
particular command. E.g., it will knowthat an appliance module will neverbeinadimmed state even
though it may be sent a dim command.
Unlikemanypopular software programs which attempt to do your thinking for you, Heyu does not decide
what X10 command to send based on the Module_type defined for the specific housecode|unit address or
alias. It does only what you tell it to do, and defining a Module_type does not restrict Heyu from sending a
command which the module may not support. E.g., if you tell Heyu to send a dim command to an appli-
ance module, it will do so without question. But the physical module will not respond and the Heyu state
will reflect that fact.
The following generic module types and/or specific model numbers are currently recognized. The names
are not case-sensitive:
*** WARNING - WARNING - WARNING ***
The X-10 LM465 Lamp Module and WS467 Wall Switch Module were redesigned in 2007 but the model
numbers, appearance, and packaging remained unchanged. The newdesigns, designated here as module
types LM465-1 and WS467-1, have quite different features and characteristics from the original designs.
Among other differences, theysupport a subset of Extended Code commands. Theycan be distinguished
by executing ´heyu xon Hu´ and ´heyu xoffHu´ at the command prompt. The redesigned modules will
respond and turn respectively On and Off; the original modules won’trespond.
Among the potential problems, there´s an apparent design error in the redesigned WS467 Wall Switch
firmware making it not backwards compatible with the original design. Astandard X10 bright or dim or
dimb signal won´t turn it On from the Offstate unless preceded by an on signal.
LM465-1 (LM-1) - Redesigned LM465 lamp module.
LM (StdLM LM465 PLM01 PLM03) - Original standard X-10 lamp module.
LM12 () - Marmitek standard X-10 lamp module.
LMS (?) - X-10 2-way lamp module (responds status on/off).
AM (StdAM AM486 AM466 PAM01 PAM02) - Standard X-10 appliance module.
AM12 () - Marmitek standard X-10 appliance module.
SR227 (PA011) - X-10 socket module.
AMS (RR501 PAT 01) - X-10 2-way switch (responds status on/off).
Some 2-way modules can be configured to automatically return a StatusOn/Off
whenevertheyare turned On/Off. For these, the module type parameter
"DEFER" instructs Heyu not to update the stored states of the module with
the On/Offsignal but let the ensuing StatusOn/Offsignal do it. (Otherwise
the changed state following the StatusOn/Offwould always be unchanged.)
RAIN8II () WGL model Rain8II 2-way irrigation controller which
can be configured to automatically respond with a StatusOn/Offsignal
when turned On/Off.
WS467-1 (WS-1) - Redesigned WS467 wall switch module.
WS (StdWS WS467) - Standard X-10 wall switch module.
LW10U () - Marmitek dimming wall switch module.
