What is X10?
X10 is a PLC communications protocol 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 in at one location in the home and sends its control signal (on, off, dim, bright, etc.) to a receiver which plugs into another location in the home.
