Newbie here with a few questions..
I'd like to be able to simulate activity in my house when I'm away. I imagine someone probably has a computer program that I could leave running on my PC that would switch a few lights on and off in the evening via X10? Anyone got any recommendations?
I'd also like to set up an external PIR that when triggered turns on an outside light and after a delay turns on a light (or two) inside the house via X10. Is it best to have that PIR control the lights directly or via the prog on my PC?
I doubt I will be getting heavily into home automation so I'm looking for the simplest way to do this. I'm familiar with house wiring.
