HomeLink, X-10, all lights off

I was wondering if anyone could give some advise for the X-10 system. I would like to program one of the buttons on my HomeLink to shut off all of my lights in the house. Currently I have a remote, which will allow me to shut all the lights off at once.

Has anyone been able to program the Homelink from a X-10 remote.

I played around a little this evening, but didn't have much luck. It was getting dark, and frustrated. Perhaps a good nights sleep will help.

I also checked the Homelink site, and x-10, but I can't say it was real helpful. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

 

I have a full home kit. I have a number of switches hooked up, some outlets, I have some modules, as well as the 6 in 1 remote, which I use to control it all.

I found some information stating that if you use homelink with lights, you must program that BEFORE the garage door openers. I'm going to try that. I think I worked out in my head the steps for the garage as well. I do have the rolling codes, so after programing with the GDO remote, I need to have it "learn" there is a button on actuall GDO.

I'll post any of my findings.

 

For future reference. I did get it to work.

First I cleared the memory, press buttons 1 and 3 on the homelink mirror for 20 seconds.

Then program X-10 first. I used button 3, held it down, then issued the command for turn all lights off from my 6 in 1 remote. I had to press it twice, but then the indicator light blinked quickly on the homelink. I turned on my lights, then was able to issue the "all off" command from my newly programed homelink button #3. One cavate, I did MOVE my transciever to the front of the house. Last night I was having problems issuing the command from my remote outside. It was in the back of my house. This might have helped my reception.

On to the garage door. I programmed per instructions in the Owners Manual. The only extra step I had was to train it, by getting up on a ladder, press the "learn" button on the garage door opener overhead unit. Then run to my car within 30 seconds, and press the button a few times. After that, it worked fine.

Now after all that, the GDO in my 83 supra, still worked fine, home link worked, but the unit I just programed from would NOT! I reprogramed that and all is well. Now I just need to see if my fiance's GDO remote is working! :?

If I find anything else out, I will share my findings.

remember, X-10 first, then GDO. At least that worked for me.
