Dimming incandescent lights

Can you have the Aquacontroller send dim comands to X10?

something like

If moon 000/000 Then LT1 DIM 50
If moon 060/-060 Then LT1 DIM 100

The moon cycle simulation does send dim commands, but it uses an internal table to specify the intensity. It is not possible to arbitrarily set the intensity.

so the Moon Cycle automaticly dims and brightens the X10 module over the start to end of a cycle (one day) or does it just adjust the brightness from one day to next?

It adjust the brightness from day to day based upon the phase of the moon.

Great that will work.
Is there a way to send a Dim command for a specific brightness using a time statment?
