Essential Info

This X10 Wall Switch can replace any standard wall switch in your home to add remote control of lights, fans, and other appliances to your existing X10 home automation system. The switch responds to on/off commands but can also transmit its own X10 address when operated locally. This is great for status or for simply controlling other devices that are sharing the same address elsewhere in the home.

Beautiful, high-quality construction of the X10 Wall Switch offers the natural feel of high-end switches without the hefty price. Its sleek design responds to each touch with a crisp, tactile response, for the look and feel of a much more expensive switch. An amber LED indicates the current on/off status of the connected load and even doubles as a locator light when the load is off, making it easy to find the switch in the dark.

X10 Wall Switch, also available in ivory, is designed to control a 400 Watt incandescent load or 10A resistive load. Wallplates are sold separately. For dimmable light control, try X10 Dimmer Switch.

  • More Info


    Slim Design
    Similar dimmers are up to 50 percent deeper than X10 Wall Switch. With its slim design, installation is easy, even in small junction boxes.

    Easy to Install and Set Up
    This switch wires in like a standard wall switch with an additional connection to a neutral wire. To set the X10 address, press & hold the Set button until it beeps and then send the X10 address from any X10-compatible transmitter.

    Built with a Quieter Relay
    Because X10 Wall Switch is built with a much quieter relay than most remote-control switches, it has a click that is 80 percent quieter than traditional relay switches. This allows you to control lights and other non-dimmable devices without waking up the baby, annoying other family members, or sending your cat fleeing across the room. The click of the internal relay is barely audible.

    Generates Less Heat
    Unlike other switches, X10 Wall Switch uses a relay to control the load. Other switches use components that absorb about two volts of power and dissipate the heat through the front of the switch. By using a relay, the switch runs cooler and full voltage gets to the load.

    Create Multi-Way Circuits
    The X10 Wall Switch allows you to customize your setup no matter how your house is wired. Create a brand new circuit or add to an existing one. Simply replace all of the existing switches you want to include in the circuit. If adding to an existing multi-way circuit, use the same X10 address assigned to the current switches. If you are creating a new circuit, choose one address and program it to each one of the switches. No traveler wires or additional programming is needed.

    Non-Volatile Memory
    All X10 Wall Switch settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, X10 Wall Switch will return to its last brightness level when power is restored.

    90-Day Warranty
    Smarthome warranties this product for 90 days.

    Safety Tested and Factory Certification
    All Smarthome products are safety approved. The assembly line for Smarthome Design Products is ISO9002 certified.

    Quiet switches with solid feel and operation.
    W. CRAIG -- sterling, VA   1/11/2012
    Exactly what I needed, does exactly what I want.
    ROBERT -- everett, WA   1/1/2012
    I like these switches better than the standard X10 switches because they provide feedback to my home control system when they are turned on or off locally. Very nice.
    Brian -- onatrio, Canada   2/12/2012
    Much better than X10 equivalent. The is a very nice cost effective true rocker X10 switch. Doesn't feel as high quality as the Leviton switches but is also 1/3 the price and transmits local status. The best feature of all is that it is SO MUCH QUIETER than the X10 branded relay switch it replaced.
    Mike Mal -- Florida   2/2/2012
    Extremely Quite compared to the old X10 Pro Switches...No more loud CLICKS!!! Love how it controls muliple ways lights...Simply awesome!!! Makes X10 come back to life!!!
