Overview

Send and receive X10 signals
Develop your own X10-compatible products for sale without the cost of UL approval

Essential Info

If you know how to send and read RS232-type serial communication with your computer or from any other electronic device, you can develop and market your own software and/or hardware for use with X10-compatible systems without having to develop your own X10 communications hardware or having to go through costly UL approval. This module is optically isolated and UL approved. The timing-critical nature of communication with this device requires low-level hardware programming experience. It may also require dedicated microprocessor time. Thus, it is not recommended for casual programmers.

You can even make this device a wireless interface! The All-Housecode RF Transceiver (sold separately) contains everything you'll need to add wireless capabilities to the X10 TW523 Two-Way Interface Module.

Note: This item does not come with any cables.

WILLIAM -- burnsville, MN 11/18/2011

Bought it for a SecurLinc2 system, and it apparently doesn't work at all. My X1 system works (units and controllers), but this thing isn't talking at all. I should've gotten a one-way unit and saved some money.

LEONARDO -- bogota, XX 10/18/2011

very good article

MARK -- oviedo, FL 8/11/2011

Had to replace a 15 year old item. This worked great and came quickly.

JOSEPH D -- baltimore, MD 8/5/2011

I had a TW523 connected to a system that worked but became increasingly unreliable in controlling devices. I suspected that the TW523 was degrading in transmitting signals. I replaced it with this one and that seemed to solve the problem.

CHESTER -- norcross, GA 3/28/2011

The price and service were superior

DEVLIN -- ledgewood, NJ 2/24/2011

Works well with my DIY controller

MICHAEL -- arlington, VA 1/13/2011

The unit arrived in tact and in working order. So far, so good!

JOSEPH -- cherry valley, ON 8/31/2010

No problems at all. This order was properly shipped, packaged and received.

KELLY L -- anaheim, CA 8/29/2010

The order was shipped fast, but I wish this item would last more than a year.

WILLIAM -- gardiner, MT 7/22/2010

Simple install and easy to integrate into the X-10 system.

DELOS -- port ludlow, WA 3/23/2010

Use with HAI system, I thought my old one went out, seem my HAI system is going out instead.

TIMOTHY -- eugene, OR 2/10/2010

I haven't written the code for incoming X-10 commands, but I have been able to send them just fine ... after reading the tech note on your web site ... it was a good excercise for me (felt like I was in school), and I got an A.

PATRICK -- grants pass, OR 9/6/2009

Works exactly as expected. My old one failed during a lightning storm, even though it was on a surge protector. I simply unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one and I was back in business. Smarthome's service was excellent and I am very pleased.

DAVID -- san jose, CA 8/21/2009

Works very well. I bought a new one to replace one that had been on duty 24/7 for roughly 12 years.

KIMBERLY -- galveston, TX 5/1/2009

Great Product. Simple plug-and-play installation. Works exactly like the original unit at half the price. I would definitely recommend. Thank you.

ERIC -- tiburon, CA 12/12/2008

Fast service. My old TW523 appears to be okay, it was the Ocelot controller that died. Oh well...

PAUL -- charlotte, NC 2/21/2008

Works well.

ROBERT -- boca raton, FL 1/10/2008

seems to working well

Kevin Pollard -- pittsburgh, PA 2/2/2012

It broke within 1.5 years

Thomas -- Central NJ 3/18/2010

The description of this product is a little misleading. What was actually shipped and what I received was the X10 Pro PSC05 2-Way Powerline Interface. No matter. The PSC05 and TW523 are basically interchangeable. Using the 7ft RJ11 Crossover Connecting Cable, I connected it to my HAI Omni Pro-II home control system. It works perfectly. Other than X10, my network consists of regular HLC devices, as well as non-HLC UPB devices. Everything works as it should. Very pleased with this purchase.
