Please note that a Controller & Software is needed to use this module. This X10 product is compatible with all X10 devices.
X10 is the leading product in home automation, and has been number one for over 30 years. X10 allows you to control fans, lights, appliances and more with a simple push of a button.
Setting up your X10 system
X10 uses intuitive computer software to program your computer interface control transmitter, or "brain" as we like to call it. Once you decide on what components you want to control (and which switches you want to use to control the components), the software will help you program the "brain". The "brain" will then plug into a wall socket and you can start using the system. Each wireless transmitter will work up to 100 feet* away from the "brain". Just install, program, and use. It is really as simple as that!
Designing your automated home
You can add on to your X10 system at anytime. You can add any X10 component if you already have an idea of what you need. All of our X10 compatible products are listed on our X10 products page. When designing your perfect home automation system, you will need to decide what you want to control (lights, appliances, garage doors, electronics) and what you want to control them with (remotes, sensors, wall switches). With our easy to program software, the possibilities are truly endless.

*This system does require that all the modules be plugged into electrical outlets that are all wired to the same breaker box and contained on the same main electrical circuit.

Home automation describes devices used to make the electronic products in your home do things automatically. Formerly, this kind of technology was referred to as "The Home of the Future", showcasing houses that automatically made you a cup of coffee or toast in the morning. Most people refer to it now as controlling their daily electronics by remote, timer or sensor.
What is X10
X10 is a technology that utilizes your home's electrical wiring to carry a signal from one device to another. Using simple dials or buttons, you assign each product with one of up to 256 addresses. If you wish two products to turn on and off together, you can set them to the same virtual address, or use seen addresses on many advanced products. All X10 compatible products can be freely mixed and matched. The devices, or modules, can be programmed to turn electrical devices on or off. With an X10 system, you can turn on a radio by pressing a button on a remote from anywhere in your house, or turn off all the lights in your house with one switch. You can also set timers to activate without the need to press any buttons at all. Since you program each module to do a certain task in certain ways the possibilities are endless.
X10 and your Lighting
The most commonly used feature with X10 is mood and lighting control. Your lights can be programmed in many of ways, allowing you to set certain lights on a timer or program a remote to turn on a whole set of lights. For example, if you are upstairs at night and hear a noise, you can press a preprogrammed button and all the lights will turn on simultaneously downstairs. You can also program lights to dim at certain times. Imagine getting up in the middle of the night and turning on a hall light. With the X10 system, you can set that bulb to turn on at 50% power,so you will not be blinded with light. You can even set up a system with motion activated lights which engage for a preprogrammed amount of time when you walk by a sensor.
Automatically controlling the lighting in your home is great for safety and security.
Other X10 Devices
The electronic modules can help control a variety of electronics, appliances and electrical components. With one of our key pads, you can see if the garage door is open from upstairs and, with a press of a button, close it without needing to run to the other side of the house. You can even program fans to turn on before you arrive home to cool down the house. And yes, you can even have the system turn on your coffee pot and toaster before you wake up in the morning. Basically, anything that receives power can be turned on or off automatically or remotely using the different X10 products.
With total home control, you can increase safety, save energy and keep your piece of mind. |
