What is X10 Compatible?


X10 is a communications "language" that allows compatible products to talk to each other via the existing 110V electrical wiring in the home. No costly rewiring is necessary. Up to 256 different addresses are available. If you want more than one device to respond to the same signal, simply set them to the same addresses. All X10 compatible products can be freely mixed and matched - Use Smarthome Design products together with X10, Leviton, etc.

 wireless
A plug-in unit with an antenna catches the radio signal from the wireless unit and puts the X10 signal onto the line(Like a garage door remote activates the opener). These units are not able to directly control an X10 receiver,a plug-in transceiver module must be used.
 2-Way Transmitter-Receiver
Like regular receivers and transmitters, they can communicate on all 256 addresses.When used with some computer controllers, a 2-way module can report its status.
 


 Transmitter
These transmitters send a specially coded low-voltage signal that is super-imposed over the 120 volts.A transmitter is usually capable of sending up to 256 different addresses on the AC line.Multiple transmitters can send signals to the same module.
 Receiver
Devices with this symbol catch the special signals sent by the transmitters.Once a matching signal comes in, the device responds and turns ON or OFF.Receivers generally have "code dials" that are set by the user to set the address.Multiple devices with the same code can exist in the same house.
