		<description><![CDATA[The last component of the X10 home automation system that I haven't yet talked about is the receiver, or the module. Modules receive and carry out the commands sent via the controller. The obvious need for the receiver is that you need something to do the actual controlling of the light or appliance or whatever you are trying to automate. Like controllers, there are many types and variations of receivers, depending on the particular application.

If you know all this and just want to browse some products – we’ve got you covered. Skip to the end of this post for a listing of X10 modules.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this next post in the X10 Home Automation series, we'll discuss in detail X10 controllers. Controllers do exactly as their name indicates – they allow users of the system to send commands to devices to turn on or off. They do this by transmitting a signal, which can happen in several ways: wireless by RF or IR to a transceiver, or through a powerline signal as a hard-wired switch or plug-in controller.

		<description><![CDATA[In the introductory post to the X10 Home Automation series, I gave a brief introduction to what transceivers do in an X10 system.  Transceivers are at the heart of the X10 protocol – basically they are the bridge between wireless control and the powerline control of X10 (see How X10 Works). They work by transforming RF signals and converting them into a signal that can be transmitted over the existing powerlines in your home, otherwise known as the PowerLine Carrier (PLC).

		<description><![CDATA[X10 is one of the easiest home automation protocols to work with - its simplicity has enabled the technology to persevere over the past few decades. But a common point of frustration for most is the purchasing process - how do you choose which of the hundreds of available devices to bring into your home? At the Smart Home Automation Guide, we are working to turn that problem on its head and instead provide you with the exact information you need to design your X10 home automation system, piece by piece.

The first step is understanding the anatomy of an X10 system. In its most compact form, there a three essential components in an X10 system: a transceiver, a controller, and a receiver (or module).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you've been looking in the product section of the guide, you've probably noticed that the section looks pretty bare relative to the rest of the site. You might have thought to yourself, "what good is a guide if it doesn't tell me where to get the products its telling me about?"

Well, wonder no more. While things have been quiet on the site, I've been pretty busy in the background. The Smart Home Automation Guide has partnered with a retailer, <a href="http://www.extenonline.com">ExTenOnline</a>, and together we are working on bringing you both the information about the product, as well as the products themselves. 

In the next week, we will be rolling out the first part of our product guide - an introduction to X10 systems and products. We'll explain the structure of X10 systems (it's actually quite simple), and show you where you can get them. ]]></description>

This is just like the "cash for clunkers" programs wherein consumers were encouraged to trade-in their old, oil-burning cars for new and more energy-efficient vehicles, but this time there will be no trade-ins.]]></description>
