Re: X10 Modules

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxx>]

Just make sure you don't plug in some heavy duty lawnmower style=20
unit. You might burn out the micromodule. it's rated at 16amps 230v=20
2200W for the AWM2.
The Cheaper model AW12 is rated 16amps 230v 2000W and is wired a bit=20
different (only has 1 X10 address and does not transmit status unlike=20
AWM2)
I think you have a plan that works. It did for my garden light ;-)
