One of the most popular home automation technologies is X-10, which allows you to remotely control lighting, appliances and other devices with compatible X-10 outlets, switches and modules. But the problem with integrating this normally RF remote-based technology with a universal IR remote control is finding a way to convert an IR signal to X-10 (which is transmitted through electrical wiring). This is where the $29 X-10 IR543 comes in - it's a compact, efficient device that allows control of 16 devices on one house code. Check out the X-10 forum for more information!
