Welcome to X10 Home Automation for the Hearing Impaired
 |
|
Hearing is a sense that we design many of our daily lives around. We rely on it to alert us to many activities such as a loud alarm clock to wake us up in the morning or an oven timer to tell us when our food is done cooking. But, to those of us who have trouble hearing these alerts they have very little effect. How do you know someone is at your front door when you can't hear the door bell ring?
That's why X10 has made these kits designed to lend a helping hand to those who have trouble hearing. With automatic, timed, and motion-activated lighting systems you can turn those sound alerts into visual alerts. You can set up a lamp to turn on whenever someone is at your front door or time your lights to wake you up in the morning. No matter what sound alert is out there, X10 can do it visually!

Is someone at your front door? How do you know if you can't hear the doorbell ring? Well, now you can get rid of the bell altogether and turn your front door alert into a light.
It's real simple. Just set up the Big Red Button outside your door, insert the Socket Rockets in any lamp or overhead lights, and you're set. Now, whenever someone comes to your door and presses the Big Red Button your light will turn on to let you know that someone is there.

Product Information

Lamp Module
Turn it on, turn it off, make it dimmer or brighter! The dimmable, plug-in Lamp Module is the best way to automate your lights. Just plug it into the wall, plug in the lamp and you're done.
The Lamp Module fits into any standard wall outlet and can dim and brighten (as well as turn on and off) any lamp plugged into it. The Lamp Module is designed for lamps only; the dim/brighten feature will not work with accessory lights, such as holiday decorations, and some fluorescents (appliance module must be used).

|
 |
Socket Rocket
Just screw the Socket Rocket Screw-In Lamp Module into a lamp, overhead light, enclosed porch light or wall sconce and screw in the light bulb. It's the easiest way to automate your lights!
The Socket Rocket works with any standard incandecent light bulb such as porch lights and overhead lights to let you turn them on and off by remote or motion sensor. It will only work with standard incandescent light bulbs and sockets.

Wireless Transceiver
The Wireless Transceiver is the backbone of any X10 Home Automation system. Simply plug it into a power outlet, and it will receive wireless commands from your remotes and motion sensors and deliver them to your light/appliance modules! It even doubles as an Appliance Module so you can control an additional lamp, fan, radio, etc.
This is one of the most important modules in any X10 System. If you do not own ActiveHome Pro or a Minitimer you must have a Transceiver Module in order for you to control your Lamp Modules and Appliance Modules. And, because the electricity in your house is divided into two circuits you will need a Transceiver for each.

MiniTimer
Forget complicated wiring. Forget PC-required Home Automation. With the MiniTimer 2, all you have to do is plug it in. It allows you to control up to 8 lights directly from the controller, and also schedule up to 64 home automation events. The large LCD screen displays time and on/off status of your lights. Plus, it works as an alarm clock, too!

Door / Window Sensor
Door/Window Sensors do exactly what you'd think. When someone attempts to open your door or window, your sensor sends a message to the Voice Dialer Console to sound the alarm. Install one at every entrance to make sure your home is protected.

|
|
 |
Motion Detector
When the Motion Detector senses movement, it sends a signal to the Voice Dialer Console to sound the alarm. If anyone walks by it, you'll know about it. Mount it anywhere inside your house; especially in places where you don't have standard doors or windows, such as your garage. And, rest assured knowing that this Home Security System is guarding your home.

X10 Home Automation System Reviews

Tell us what you think about X10 Home Automation

"Make coming home a brighter and safer experience with this starter ActiveHome kit that lets you schedule lights and appliances to turn on or off at certain times of the day. The X10 ActiveHome Computer Interface Kit is an excellent entry-level system for anyone who wants to get started with timer-based lighting and appliance control."
- Smarthome.com
"The X10 (home automation) package is our Editors' Choice, thanks to its combination of cost and usefulness . . . All the systems here can be expanded as your interest grows, to cover more of your house and do more things. That means you won't feel locked in but will be able to improve your home system as the technology improves."
- PC Magazine
"I've been using X10 for 20+ years and the ActiveHome software for about 4 years and it is the only way to go. Macros, timers, customization, and features are excellent, and it compensates for sunrise and sunset times based on time of year and location. My wife loves the keychain remote; she can turn all lights on or just the outside ones, great for getting home late."
- The-gadgeteer.com
"X10's software is colorful, easy to understand, and well designed. You create different "rooms" to represent the rooms in your house and then establish links to the modules in each. Once the system is set up, you can turn all the lights in a room on or off at once, design macros, and schedule repeated events. Macros bring a lot of power and versatility to the program, letting you build routines like slowly dimming all the lights and running the sprinkler in the evening...the universal remote can work not only your X10 devices but also your home entertainment center and the keychain can turn two lights on or off within 100 feet. The X10 ActiveHome kit offers far more extensibility than the other kits reviewed here, with a wide variety of additional modules available, such as motion-sensitive outside lights and screw-in lamp modules..."
- PC Magazine
"I love having X10 control our holiday lights. In fact it's so easy that I could barely control myself. In the past, I would have to walk back and forth from the garage to turn on and off sets of lights plugged into wall outlets. Using the simple software interface, all holiday lights are now set to run from late afternoon until 9pm, when they turn off automatically. ActiveHome has made it so fun and easy that my kids and I have loaded our new front garden and tree with colorful lights and decorations."
- HGTV
"For about the same price as a dumb alarm clock you can get this amazing plug-in SMART timer. This unit has four separate timers that can turn on and off up to four groups of X10 devices twice a day at your preset times. In the security mode it will randomly vary the ON/OFF slightly every day to give a lived-in look. You can set the timers to operate every day or do a one-time temporary change to accommodate that extra early-morning meeting."
- Smarthome.com
"Exactly what I was looking for. Performed as advertised. Clear, concise operating manual. I am still in awe that I now have timer control over lighting and other electronics without having to wire a timer into the circuit."
- William (Online Shopper)
"It's ideal for the tasks I have for it. It runs the coffee pot, turns on and off the Christmas tree, and turns off the humidifier every morning at 10am if I forget."
- Sidney (Online Shopper)
"Everything works great. The X10 system is an excellent addition to any home and it was an great Christmas gift for my in-laws."
- Eric (Online Shopper)
"The X10 SlimLine wall switches are one of the greatest accessories a lady could ask for in a busy household. The unit simply sticks to the wall and is super easy to program. It's ultimately easier using the SlimLine controls for all of the table top lamps in my living room, dining room and bedroom. I've grouped all 3 table lamps in the living room to turn on, dim and turn off using a single button. I never would have been able to control all 3 at the same time and have them dim before installing ActiveHome Pro. Even better, I can also choose to push a button on the X10 hand held remote control."
- HGTV
"Nice way to add automation without doing any wiring. I live in a rented home and I needed a way to add this capability to my hall and porch lights without any wiring (landlord would not let me rewire anything). This solved this problem nicely!"
- James (Online Shopper)
