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.
