4.7 Controlling your house with home automation
modules from X10
The 8in1 remote control allows you to command all electric
appliances you have in your house.
Here are some examples that you can do with your 8 in 1
remote using X10:
-Switch on/off , dim lights while you watch TV.
-Switch on the lights at night to frighten intruders when you
detect something suspicious.
-Switch on your electric blanket before the film ends to have
it warm when you go to sleep.
For controlling your lamps or appliances, you will need an
IR7243 and additional X10 home modules. The modules are
simply plugged into a/c outlet with no additional wiring
required.
Contact your retailer for additional information.
5. Troubleshooting
The remote doesn't work or loses codes entered
• Confirm with your original remote that the equipment works
correctly.
• Make sure that you have pressed the corresponding mode
key of the equipment or device that you want to control.
• If the listed code does not work, try the AUTOSEARCH
method or enter the next code of that brand.
• Check that the batteries have the correct polarity position.
• The programming of the remote requires 2 AAA Alkaline
batteries (new). If the remote looses codes within a few
days/weeks the problem can be solved by using 2 new
batteries.
• If the LED is lit permanently, in general it will be necessary
to replace the batteries.
• Set the remote back to factory default.
