X10.com®’s leading Family of Controllers for the Wired Home

Versatile Enough to Work Both Together and Alone to Offer the Most Flexibility Available for Home Control, Entertainment and Security Products

Seattle — September 22, 1999 —X10.com (www.x10.com/pressroom26.htm) is constantly developing new products to allow computer enthusiasts everywhere the flexibility to control almost anything electrical from anywhere in the home remotely by using one or a combination of their family of controller products.

X10.com has capitalized on their pioneer development of the Powerline® Carrier Technology to give everyone the freedom to quickly and easily setup a network of controls in their home with products such as the Slimline™ Wall Switch, the hugely popular SlimFire™ Remote, and the UltimateREMOTE™ . Now you can send commands with a Slimline Switch located next to your bedroom door or above your headboard. You can also use the SlimFire Remote in your car to turn on and off security lights as you leave or arrive or send commands with the UltimateREMOTE from the comfort of a couch while at the same time changing channels on the TV.

All of the remote control units operate on the same technology and can be used together or separately to start creating a 21st century Wired Home. All of the units provide the most freedom possible for controlling products seamlessly regardless of how much someone is familiar with home control. Everyone can enjoy the controllers, whether it’s a first time X10.com customer experiencing the FireCracker home control starter kit or one of the thousands of Wired Home enthusiasts returning for more and more ways to expand their custom dream home with all of the latest control, entertainment and security gadgets.

"X10.com knows that people aren’t going to want to carry a remote control around the home all of the time or have to go the same wall switch every time to send commands to make things happen in their Wired Home," said Alex Peder, president X10 (USA) retail sales division. "The benefits of these products are so compelling that once you’ve experienced what’s its like to remotely control whatever you want from anywhere in the home, the chances are pretty good you’ll become a lifelong customer."
