You already use a remote control to control your home entertainment system, so why not use that same remote to control lights, adjust the thermostat, close the drapes and more! It's incredibly easy with this Infrared X10 Command Console that converts IR commands from a universal remote into X10 signals. This remote console is compatible with a number of X10 modules (sold separately). A selection of remote controls (each sold separately) is already pre-programmed to work with the remote console, making automation control even easier. The Infrared X10 Command Console is powered by simply plugging it into any 120VAC outlet.
