Support for Marmitek x10 products (MS90 and others)

While some X10 devices are supported, these Marmitek units are not yet supported.

We haven't had much request for those.

Best raise a new idea, if it sparks enough interest, we'll consider it.

Hi,

I've the same issue with the 433 Mhz module, i've bought it to support my old marmitek and Oregon devices, and none of them are supported.the list of X10 and Oregon devices is too short to make useable the 433 Mhz module for many customers.There's a great number of custommers with these devices and they will be interested by the zipabox if they don't need to change all off their devices immediately.Please add support for X10 MS17,MS90 and SD90E marmitek modules, and Oregon THGR328N, UVR128, and thr128.I think the support for these devices is a necessary buying driver for your (actual and future) customers. Thank you.

We are still waiting for an answer for this issue.

This is pretty annoying to me, as I bought the Zipato to use with my Marmitek X10 devices.

The product was sold to me as 433Mhz-compatible, without indicating clearly that many devices were not compatible.

I guess I am entitled to a full refund here (Box+433Mhz module+Backup module)

Please kindly indicate how to proceed to get the refund.

Where are the x10 modules supported.

Nothing in the addlist of my zipabox (v0.9.998).

Thx.

Same question for me. I have bought 433 module some month ago as some x10 modules where suposed to work with it. I have one ticket opened about that issue, but the only answer I get is to wait and wait again several month... Finaly a lot of people bought a module which is not working as promised by Zipato !! :-(

X10 support??

we are just finishing the support for CM15.

i did bought also a 433 module and cannot add a x10 unit an where can i find a manual what todo to add an x10 module

please a manual step by step

Bosch dissapointed user.

Dear Bert

I use all my marmitek X10 devices with Zipato and it works fine.

Nevertheless I spent a long time to find the way.

The Zipato team helped me very efficiently.

You can use the 433 module, but it only fits with the RF devices listed when you try to add a module.

If you have all kind of X10 devices, you should use a CM15 interface.

But you have to buy either a backup module or a security module and plug the module to the zipabox.

Why? because these two modules have a USB input. The CM15 has to be connected through its USB cable in the USB input.

In my case, I use a security module and the CM15 is connected to it.

Then when you look in the device list you find X10 PLC AM12 or X10PLC LM12. The system asks what is the house and unit code (for example A3). And it works. So I could re-use all my X10 devices AM12, LM12, AMW and several X10 wall switches

I hope this post can help you.

hello Michel thanks for your replay

iám a little bit dispointed that the 433 module cannot work with the x10 i need a extra module to get it work

i have the same problem with coco devices i cannot get it working.

on the internet i did read that the zipato the great solution is to work with coco and x10 devices

but is not so.

regards Bert

Hi Bert,

These X10 RF devices that work reliably with Zipabox:

• SD90
• MS18
• WD18
• GD18
• SS13
• MS13E
• Easy Touch Panel 10E
• SS12E
• SS11E

Other devices (at least the samples we had in the lab) exhibit a frequency drift and fail to demodulate properly with our 433 module.

hello tom tanks for your answer

I have 16 Lamp modules from Marmitek the LM 12 and 12 Marmitek Modules AM 12G and a remotecontrol the Easy Touch 35 to control everiting but the zipato doesnot recognice any of this parts

can you help me how to connect the zipato to work with this modules.

regards Bert

Hi Bert,

As far as I can see, your units are not RF based, they communicate over power lines and you can not control them with the 433 MHz module.

To control them via Zipabox you need to interface them using CM15 - see Michels reply.

We have USB-Serial module available which has an USB port and is cheaper than Security module.

Bye,

I di now try to ad a Marmitek x10 BMB MS18 sensor nothing works it seems that the 433 mhz box is not working at all.

bert

Hi at all!

Anyone know something about BMB Electronics X10 GB18 module? It isn't GD18, but also this is a gas sensor.

I'm tring to use with Zipabox, I can include it and automatically detection seem to be correct (as gas detector). I tried to test allarm with button on device but seems not send allarm to Zipabox.

Moreover when I try to setup a rules to e-mail me a message when sensor is activated rhe selection on sensor module don't give me any selection (No attribute) and can't be save rule.

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Thanks
