I'm using PLCBus 1141 RS232 controller with x10/plcbus transfer interface to control x10 dimmer, it works fine with lamp switch, appliance module and also curtain module, just only the x10 dimmer switch i can only control on/off, but cannot to dim/bright.

Hi,
So From LMCE you can switch the lights on and of but not Dimm them?
What template did you choose when adding the dimmer switch?
Template #37 Light switch (on/off)
Template #38 Light switch (dimmable)
What test commands do you have available on in the webadmin for the light switch?

I bought the x10 dimmer touch switch from Taiyito.com. If I using the plcbus universal controller software to dim it was no problem.

I did write the PLCBUS driver but i've never tested it with X10 devices. The code just sends a PLCBUS preset dim command for dimmable devices with a speed rate of 3. You could check if your device needs some other speed or expects this to be 0 or such..
