Computer Control
But far the most powerful and creative device available is a computer interface, such as the CM11, as shown in
Figure 1-14 . This is a transceiver that's able to pass messages from the power line to the computer and send messages
back from the computer onto the power line. Unlike most X10 devices, the power socket on the CM11 is not
controllable by X10 and instead is a simple through port. Consequently, if you want to control your computer with
X10, you have two options.
