If you would read the sales literature and user manuals (available on X-10
and X-10 Pro web pages) for the modules and devices that interest you, most
of your questions will be answered.

We are not talking about the transceiver but the motion sensor. It is
one-way only in that it sends RF but receives nothing.

All of the transceivers are two-way in some limited fashion. The one you've
been asking about, receives RF and transmits to the powerline. The RR501
receives RF, receives from the powerline and transmits to the powerline.
None of the transceivers transmit RF. Calling them "transceivers" is really
a misnomer (the term normally is used for a unit that both transmits and
receives RF) but that's what X-10 chose to call them so we're stuck with it.
