X10 sequencing w/o computer?

Jul 22, 2003 3 Replies

I've got cameras around the house that are controlled by our "home server" computer. They work fine, but I've been asked to install some security cams for a friend who doesn't have an extra computer to be used for such a purpose. Isn't there some kind of simple switcher that would just send out a sequence of X10 commands every ten seconds or so to sequence through a set of x10 devices -- namely, cameras -- without needing a computer? Sounds simple, but I haven't found one.



Any ideas?

Why not suggest an old computer? They are available rather cheaply and you don't need much hardwarewise for that function.

You don't need much computing power. Why not buy a used on for $100 or so? Cheaper than any other type of controller. You may even find an old Pentium

90 for free if you ask around. Ed

How about this:
