X10 module on texecom

[redsun]

Hi all

i fitted a premier 48 to my home many moons ago and at the time was dabbling in home automation so bought a x10 module that plugs in com port of prem 48 panel.

well I never fitted it and found it at the weekend so I'm gonna have a play about with it.

Had anyone used one and any ideas what I could use it for? Maybe using it to switch a couple of lights on when alarm triggered at night?

Youll struggle to get x10 to work in a house with switched mode psus, rcbos or especially powerline adaptors.

 

I had a play with it in a modern house and struggled to get between 2 rooms without unplugging other equipment.

 

X10 was invented in the 70s and is deader than corduroy flares...
