|
|

What is the X10 FireCracker kit?
|
|
|
|
The X10 Firecracker kit is a simple wireless home automation system,
|
|
consisting of a lamp module, an appliance module/radio receiver, a
|
|
hand held wireless transmitter and a wireless transmitter that plugs
|
|
into a standard RS-232 serial port. Using either the handheld
|
|
transmitter or the serial port transmitter, a user can turn on or off
|
|
any of up to 256 appliances, and brighten/dim any of those that happen
|
|
to be lamps and plugged into the special lamp modules. Each appliance
|
|
to be controlled must be plugged into its own module, and each module
|
|
is set (by turning dials on the front) to a unique address by which it
|
|
is identified.
