Talkative Wireless Technology

Let me tell you about the X10 Protocol…

Let me guide you through the way X10 products work.
X10 components “talk” to one other using your home’s existing wiring. A transmitter, like a motion sensor, located in one part of a house or building sends an X10 Power Line Carrier (PLC) signal through the existing wires in your walls to a transceiver in another location. Then the transceiver responds to the information by telling another component - attached to your light for instance - to do one of four things: turn on, off, dim or brighten. This means all your lights and appliances can be adjusted individually or at once.

X10 technology has been the trusted standard in home automation since the 70’s and continues to be as reliable now as it was then. As new fad technologies rise up and die away, X10 endures unchanged. Plenty of companies have tried to duplicate the reliability and functionality of the X10 protocol, but none have succeeded in creating a home automation format that’s as simple and reliable as ours.

X10 Controllers send a singal to your Transceiver, which tells your Lamp Module to turn lights on and off.

No New Wires

Since your existing wires act as the conduit through which X10 communicates with its components, many of our products are completely wireless. Some of our motion sensors, like the Dual Floodlight Motion Detector, are both controllers and transceivers on their own. Your lamp modules receive information from them, telling them to act on commands. All you have to do is plug in the components and let them go to work for you.
