I'm almost sure that such a device _does_not_exist.

X-10 'control' signalling is sent over 120v AC wiring.  so there is no need
for anything powered from DC.

You're better off 'forgetting' that it is an "X-10" transmitter, and brewing
up (from scratch) a  reciever that will trigger a relay on receipt of the
magic command.   For simplicity of design, that 'magic command' might well
come from something _other_ than an "X-10" system transmitter.

Good luck!
