Re: Suggestions Needed
The Smarthome plug in LampLinks and the dimming wall switches can be
set to ramp up and down up to 9 minutes. Once it is set all you need
to do is to send an on and an off every 9 minutes.
I have many of this modules and depending on the placement I have
different ramp up levels. None are at 9 minutes but I did that once
and you can't even see it ramping up it is so slow.
Another bonus is that they are all Insteon and if X4X ever supports
that you will be home free.
