RE: X10 Introduction wanted

["Stainton-James, Mark (London)" <stainmar@xxxxxxx>]

Darryl,

I haven't seen any replies to your mail, so will try and point you in the right direction.  I am sure some of the regulars on the list will be a= ble to
help as well.

Very very briefly:

You can use X10 to control electrical appliances and lights.  To do th= is
each 'thing' you want to control must have an X10 module connected to it. On this module you give it an address unique to that appliance in your hous= e
(normally by turning a dial) The address can be anything you want, and you<= BR> have a maximum of 256 to choose from.

To be able to control the device you need to send either and on/off or a di= m
command to the address you chose.  The 'sender' device comes in many f= orms
depending on the modules you but eg PC, remote control, keypad etc

We are looking for 4 explanation articles on X10 to put into our site:

1 - What is X10 - explanation and FAQ
2 - What can you do with X10
3 - How to troubleshoot X10
4 - A case study of installing an X10 system

If anyone has written anything that they think might be suitable, then
please let me know.  I have a budget of up to =A3100 per article if an= yone
fancies getting their pen out :-)

Contact me if you need more details, maybe someone has something suitable penned already.

Regards
Darryl.
