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. |
