Home Automation

2Geckos can design, install and automate nearly anything!

We have used X10 Technology since 1987 to control lights, appliances, fans, A/C, irrigation systems, and security cameras.

  • Schedule lights (on-off-dim%) or other electrical appliances (on-off)

  • Take control on your electrical bill by scheduling for Off-Peak times

  • Control electrical appliances when you are away

  • Trigger electrical appliances based by motion sensors or other activities

  • Increase security by monitoring electrical lights or appliances on-off-dim state

X10 is a protocol that sends a coded signal over ordinary electrical wiring to control up to 256 devices.

X10 devices maybe automated using a computer interface, or controlled from wired controllers, wireless handheld controllers, by telephone or over the internet.

In order to control specific devices, all modules are assigned an address, which consists of a House and Unit code. There are 16 House codes (A through P) and 16 Unit codes (1 through 16). Each House code has 16 Unit codes. This means there are 256 possible addresses.  
  Using simple dials or buttons you assign each product with one of up to 256 addresses. If you wish two products to go on and off together you can set them to the same address or use scene addresses on many advanced products. All X10 compatible products can be freely mixed and matched - so use Smarthome products together with X10, Leviton, Stanley, IBM, JDS, ACT, Homepro, etc.
X10 is a communications "language" that allows compatible products to talk to each other using the existing electrical wiring in the home. Most X10 compatible products are very affordable and the fact that they talk over existing wires in your home means that no costly rewiring is necessary. Installation is simple, a transmitter plugs (or wires) in at one location in the home and sends its control signal (on, off, dim, bright, etc.) to a receiver which plugs (or wires) into another location in the home.
