Hi,
I'm planning on using xAP to control some additional lights. I will have a xAP Controller object for each light. Then I want to control them (plus some real Cortex lights) with a Scene object. The problem is that the "global" filter in the Lights Controlled Connections dialog is greyed out - so the only lights I can select are the real Cortex ones. Is there any way I can do what I'm after ?
I guess I could do all this with macros, but seen as there's a lighting scene object there it makes sense to use that (plus I might want dimmer support too).
Thanks in advance,
Simon
PS. Some background : It would a major pain to route a wire to all the lights I want to add, hence I want to go wireless. I'm using xAP because there is good support for it within Cortex : I'll use the PC to talk wireless 433 MHz to some Home Easy wireless plugs (the lights are freestanding ones) using a RFXCOM RFXtrx USB dongle. These plugs are on/off ones but they do dimmer ones too. I'll have to write a small bit of software to map from xAP to the dongle but it should be easy. It also opens up a whole part of the house to automation that I haven't considered before.
