Powerline Carrier (X-10)
What is Powerline Carrier, and
what is X-10? Powerline Carrier is a term that
describes a method of delivering data to various
electronic devices through your homes existing
electrical wiring. This means that it is not
necessary to run new wiring within your home
to control a device, the technology uses your
existing home's AC wiring. X-10 is a company
that invented, and patented, the protocol that
allows it to happen. X-10 also manufactures
many devices that allow control of lights, appliances,
heating & air conditioning, etc. Such devices
can be "set" with an identifying code, and operated
from elsewhere within the home. It is not important
that you understand how it works, just understand
that using X-10 devices, you can control home
lighting, fans, ceiling fans, appliances, heating
& air conditioning, and much more!
Angel FX allows you to send X-10
commands so you can control many devices within
your environment. X-10 commands can be sent
individually, by "clicking" on a single ICON
or text menu line, or any number of them (up
to 32) can be programmed into a "sequence" which
allows up to 32 events to be executed in response
to a single input from the user. Angel FX can
store up to 1,000 sequences of up to 32 events
each. Any X-10 house code / unit code combination
can be programmed into a sequence. It is also
possible to program dim, and/or brighten, commands
into a sequence so that you may turn on a lamp,
and dim it to a preset level with a single input
from the user.
Enjoy unrestricted control
of X-10 devices with Angel ECU.
A variety of X-10
devices are pictured. In wall light switches
can be
replaced with X-10 controlled switches, as well
as in wall recepticles can
be replaced with X-10 controlled versions. Plug
in modules make it a snap
to control lamps and other appliances. Chimes
can also be plugged in
quickly to allow the requesting of help.
