WGL AND ASSOCIATES W800USB X10 RF TO USB PC RECEIVER
IMPROVES HOME AUTOMATION RESPONSE TIMES!
The W800 family of RF receivers are designed to receive X10 RF signals generated from various X10 products such as Palm Pad remotes, key chain remotes, Hawkeye motion detectors, and many, many other X10 RF devices.
The W800 then sends these commands directly to your computer's RS232 or USB port, depending on the model purchased. This allows your computer to receive X10 RF commands from remotes and motion detectors directly, without having to broadcast any power line commands, thus minimizing power line clutter and improving home automation response times by bypassing the usual power line delay.
To use the W800 you will need a dedicated computer (PC or Mac) to interpret the received commands.
All regular X10 RF commands (on, off, dim, brighten, etc.)
Extended 32 bit RF commands, such as those transmitted by X10's “Entertainment Anywhere” remotes and X10 security modules such as the DS10.
