• X10 UM506 Universal Module

    From Art Todesco@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 13 08:30:30 2015
    The UM506 module has a mode where you can get a 2 second operation of
    the internal relay. Has anyone tried to change this timing? I would
    like, say maybe 1 second. Any ideas?

    I would suspect it was a timer in the PIC firmware, rather than an RC
    circuit you could change. You'd have to reverse engineer the firmware
    or cascade an additional circuit between the module and what you're
    trying to control that had a shorter closed time.

    Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.
