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. |
