Description

The W800RF32 is an wireless receiver designed to translate X10 RF signals generated by X10 products such as Palm Pad remotes, key chain remotes, Hawkeye motion detectors, and many, many other X10 RF devices. The W800RF32 then sends these commands directly to your computer's serial (RS232) port. This allows your computer to receive X10 RF commands from remotes and motion detectors directly, without having to broadcast any power line commands, thus minimizing power line clutter and improving home automation response times by bypassing the usual power line delay.

Function

Sends serial data to a host device whenever an X10 RF device transmits data. Similar to the X10 MR26A and the RFXCOM receiver.

The W800RF32 receives all 256 house/unit code addresses, all regular X10 RF commands (on, off, dim, brighten, etc.), and extended 32-bit RF commands, such as those transmitted by X10's “Entertainment Anywhere” remotes and X10 security modules such as the DS10A or the various versions of their motion sensors.

There is also a version for use outside of the US and Canada.
