Just downloaded PowerHome, but I cannot figure out how to create the controls in the control center window.  Help!

Also, I use an X10 PowerLinc.  Does PowerHome support this?  Cuz it doesn't show up in the dropdown for devices in the X10 Setup window.

Mark,

The PowerLinc is not yet supported in PowerHome.  I have just ordered one and have downloaded the programming manual so will begin to add the necessary support.  It won't be available until the next release however

Concerning buttons in the Control Center...the first thing you would need to do is declare some "Tabs" in the PowerHome explorer.  To make a tab visible, the tab order must be greater than 0.  Once you've declared some tabs, you can create buttons for Macros, IR commands, X-10 commands, and Send keys.  In each of these areas, you'll be asked to declare what tab they should appear on.  If it's a macro, the tab is declared in the Header section.  If it's an IR button, the tab is declared in the Equipment section.  Send Keys will have the tab declared per each Send Keys row.  Once you've declared some tabs and some buttons, exit the Explorer.  Either reinitialize PowerHome or close and reopen the Control Center and they should be there.

Dave.
