Hi Bill. What hardware from X10 do you need, besides the firecracker unit, to run the lighting program you sell so that you don't need your computer running all the time?

Cant be done. eLightMaster utilizes the computer to determine all it's rise and set and phase times as well as the corresponding commands for how much to dim the moon for instance. If you want a static timer, you could simply buy one, no need for the eLightMaster features then.

I know a couple of guys who bought for almost nothin old pentium laptops and use those to run eLightMaster. Also, running your computer 24/7 (turning your monitor off when your not using it) is best for the computer...what's a few more bucks for electricity in this hobby [img]smile.gif[/img]
