… feature is now ready. I've been living and working on this since September. It adds support for all dimmable module types defined in the heyu man page, x10config, including the "new" LM456-1 and WS467-1. These modules, along with some others, support extended preset commands, which map very well to HomeKit dim levels. I also updated the code for modules that support pre-set levels as well. The pre-set levels (1-32) are mapped to percentages using the SmartHome Pre-set tables according to the X10 Knowledge base. I also experimented with using steps in the HomeKit levels, but ended up settling …

It does it with any address. I will try verbose Mode and see what it shows. Thanks again.

I also looked at the code, and their is a verbose mode -v that gives more debug info into the issue. But with all that said, why not just leave k9 out of your setup?
