Part 4
_________________________________________________________

One of the most popular types of technology for home automation is that of X10. There are many brands of product on the market that you can use, and by no means is this e-book saying that X10 is the best. But, it is one of the most popular and the most likely that youll begin using. For that reason, you should look into the benefits that it can offer and understand what it means to use these products in your home. 

X10 is a type of communication. Its the language that your devices are talking with and therefore doing the things that you ask them to do. Its what makes the two products compatible. Consider it the translator between two people that speak different languages. Without it, automation simply cant work because the units cant tell the other way to do. 
X10 uses the electrical outlets and wiring devices that you already have set up in your home. This means that you dont have to tear down walls to get the benefits that it can offer to you as you would if you were to hardwire the devices to work
 
Of course, not having to use hardwire devices means that the product is also quite affordable to use. The actual purchase of X10 products is also affordable. The combination of these two elements makes X10 so important to the world of home automation. 

Installing this communication tool in your home is simple. You simply need to install the transmitter, which plugs right into outlet in your wall and sends out a control signal to the device. The device is plugged right into a receiver and then into the wall. 

When the device receives a signal from the receiver that the transmitter is sending, it performs the task thats being asked of it. Really, its pretty simple to understand. 

You can program your X10 units with one of up to 256 different addresses. The address identifies which product is to be used to make the change that you are requesting. 

Using this technology, you can also assign two products with the same address so that you can turn them on or off at the same time. This allows you the ability to control many units at once, if thats what you need and want to do with your X10 product. 46 

The good thing about X10, in addition to these things, is that all X10 products can be matched together. No matter the  
brand name, you can mix them together to get the desired effect.
