Harmony Granite X10 Controller
The X10 system that these modules use works on Powerline
technology, therefore there is no need to connect your appliances /
lamps with data cables. All the commands to turn lights and other
devices on, off and dim are sent over regular household mains wiring.
Purpose
The purpose of the Harmony Granite X10 Controller is to interface
between your PC and Harmony software and your X10 devices.
Use
The Harmony Granite X10 Controller connects between a mains socket
and your PC’s serial port. The unit must be connected before you start
Harmony software and must remain connected for computer control.
Installation
1. Connect to your PC’s serial port using supplied cable.
2. Install Harmony Granite plug-in from www.iDomus.co.uk.
3. Restart Harmony Home Automation Server.
4. Go to Plug-in > Granite on Harmony menu.
