UTOMATION
The first thing you need to understand is
that there are two different devices you
need to control your house; Controllers
and Modules. Any light or appliance that
you want to control is plugged into a
Module and that Module is then plugged
into a standard AC outlet.
Modules receive commands from
Controllers. Examples include the Lamp
Module (sold separately). The Transceiver
Module (also sold
separately) is another
example (although it also
doubles as a Controller as
described later).
Controllers are plugged
into standard wall outlets
and send commands to
Modules over your existing
electrical wiring in your
house without affecting
your electricity in any
way.
The Transceiver Module
works as a Controller when
it is used with a remote
control such as the X-10
Mouse Remote. When the
Transceiver Module
receives a command
from a remote control it
sends digital signals
over your existing house
wiring to a Module which
receives the signals and
executes the command.
The Remote uses radio
frequency (RF) signals
to send commands to
the Transceiver Module.
RF signals can go right
through walls, so you
can use the Mouse
Remote to control
lights or appliances from
anywhere in your home.
