Piece of cake...the * button on the keyfob is automatically set to control an X-10 device. All you need to do is go into programming and turn it on. In programming, go to LIGHT CONTROL and then select SENSOR LIGHTS. Scroll to the keyfob(s) you want to activate the X-10 unit number (1-8) and enable it. Tip...you can also open/close the garage door via the control panel. The * button is the LIGHT ON button, and the # button is the LIGHT of button. If your relay module is set to 8, simply hit *8 at the panel to open and close the garage door. It's always the light on command to activate the relay module (not light off to close the door!)
You can also hit the * button and # buttons twice to either turn on and off ALL X-10 lights.

Thanks
I got it set up online now to :)
I only wish there was way to make the "warn if left open" and that work together so if i forget to close the door after say 10minutes it will close it for me :p
this won't be affect by the "light" button on the key fob right? so i can still use it

sorry to bother again but i have 2 x10 sirens both set to channel 9 one works and one does not sound
is there any way to test the sounding with out setting off the alarm every time i move it?
I'm not sure why its not working and not sure how to check phase in the breaker box
Thanks for any help

Just hit the STATUS button on the panel, the siren will beep one time after it gives you an update. Most of the time these X-10 issues are due to outlets being on different electrical phases. X-10 makes a phase coupler, but I've never used it myself!
Also, make sure the dial is set to "B" on the sirens (assuming the panel house code is set to "A")
