PROGRAMMING AN X10 SCENE MACRO 

Creating a Scene Setup is the first half in creating a scene. This enables the 
X10 module to 

accept

 a Scene Command. 

 
Placing a Scene Command on the Virtual Controller: 
1.  In the Scene Module window, select the Scene you would like placed on 

the virtual Controller. (Scene Cmd in the Function List Box should 
change to reflect the proper scene number (i.e. Scene Cmd-(A-1)) 

2.  Click a Source button on the virtual controller (URC-2P/B shown as 

example) where you want the command to be placed under (i.e. TV, 
SAT, AUX etc…). A blue outline will appear around the button and the 
“virtual” LED will turn red. 

3.  Click a button on the virtual controller where you want the command. 

This button will now also have a blue outline around it. 

4.  Click Place.  The command will appear in the command list (e.g., Scene 

Cmd – (A-1) (XANTECH - IRX10)). 

5.  To add a Scene Setup to this Macro (Method 2 from above), select 

Scene Setup in the Function List Box and then click Place. You should 
now see the Scene Setup commands added to the Command List 
window. (Refer to 

Figure 6

) Now this Macro can be used as the Scene 

Command to set lighting to a predetermined level and be used to reset 
the X10 modules after a Power Failure. 

 
You can now add other commands to this macro in the same manner and 
cater it to your needs. For example, you can add a Play command for your 
DVD player. Now any time this macro is selected, the lights will dim to a 
preset level and the DVD will start. The possibilities are left to the user!
