Hi all,
I'm kinda new to the whole X10 thing, and on a very tight budget, so don't want to blow a brand new module.
I have a TMD4 (which has taken nine months to save for) that I'd like to use it to turn on:
1: two 11 watt low energy bulbs
2: standard 40 watt incandescent bulb
3: standard 40 watt incandescent bulb
4: 39 watt ceiling fan attached to light (on switch 2)
I'm aware that I'll not be able to dim the low energy bulbs on switch 1, but wonder if they'd still light up from the module, and whether or not I'd be able to confuse the module into thinking the 39 watt fan is a bulb.
Can anyone offer a newbie some advice?
Thanks.
