Essential Info

Expand the capabilities of your X10 system with this easy-to-use input/output control board! The LynX-Port Multi-Purpose I/O Board connects directly to your computer via an RS232 port to give you the power to remotely control up to eight devices through eight fully programmable DPDT relays. Each relay has its own 16-bit timer so you can individually program them to close from .05 seconds all the way up to 9 hours. Relays rated: 1 Amp at 120 vac, 2 Amps at 30 vac. requires a 9-16V AC or DC power supply (sold separately). You'll need the TW523 X10 two-way module (sold separately) for X10 capabilities. RS232 cable also sold separately.

    You can program a device to switch on a specific time, stay on for up to nine hours, then automatically switch off. You can also set a relay to trip the next relay in sequence after the time out, making the LynX-Port the ideal solution for effortless, automated sprinkler rotation control.

    The LynX-Port also features four analog inputs and eight digital inputs. With the analog inputs, you can plug in optional external sensors (temperature, light, moisture, etc.) for even greater automated control. For example, with an optional light sensor you can have your outdoor lights automatically turn on at dusk and off at sunrise. With the optional moisture sensor, you can have your sprinkler system automatically turn on when the ground is dry and turn off when a pre-programmed moisture level is reached. And you can use the optional temperature sensor to control fans, furnace, air conditioners, space heaters, pool heaters and more.

    The digital inputs let you use PIR motion sensors, magnetic contacts, user inputs, and any of the N/O or N/C sensors in this catalog to further expand your system's capabilities. For example, you can connect motion sensors and have outdoor lights instantly switch on and automatically play a greeting (or warning ) message when visitors (or invaders) approach your front door.

    You can even program the LynX-Port to send X10 signals (or RS232) in response to the sensors or hold the status internally until polled using status request commands.

    The LynX-Port comes complete with LynX-Soft Windows control software and easy-to-follow instructions for writing your own applications. It requires a 9-16V AC or DC power supply. You'll need the #1135 TW523 X10 two-way module (sold separately) for X10 capabilities. RS232 cable sold separately. Order your LynX-Port control board and start adding computer programmed capabilities to your X10 system today!

    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
    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.
    RICHARD -- van nuys, CA   6/20/2007
    Works great!
    CLARK -- bothell, WA   5/12/2007
    Purchased for evaluation. Price was good so I purchased here.
