Wireless Sensors
|
|
Wireless sensors for WebIO version 4 include magnetic entry sensors, three different motion sensors,
multiple remote controls, key fob remotes,
and a sensor that can be wired for general purpose use for monitoring sump pumps, door bells, or anything
that can be wired as an open/close contact.
The wireless remote controls and sensors can be configured in WebIO for automation/control of X10 powerline devices
and control of the relay expansion board.
The wireless sensors can trigger email and text message notification when used with WebIO
and the included PC automation software.
The wireless sensors are low cost, battery powered and very reliable.

X10 Modules
|
|
WebIO versions 2, 3 and 4, use the X10 powerline protocol for communicating to
X10 modules. There are numerous x10 modules from many manufactures,
these modules range from lamp modules to light switches and relays.
X10 uses a house/unit code addressing systems with a list of commands such as
"on", "off", "dim" and others.
With each X10 module, you assign it a house code (from A-P) and a unit code (from 1-16).
Many modules are addressed using a small dial for selecting house and unit code.
If two X10 modules have the same address they will both respond to the same
powerline message.
WebIO (like any other X10 controller) will then send out a house/unit code along
with a command (function code) to control a module(s).
