I have searched the forums but no one answers in a specific way as to what is "a" basic setup.
Okay, so I've been using my Pronto Pro TSU6000 for over 18 months now and I'm all fine and dandy with it. I live in the US.
Yesterday I was at Fry's and I had to buy these X 10 devices
X-10 Powerhouse Lampe Module LM465
X-10 Powerhouse Wall Dimmer RWS17.
So I got the X10 codes that exist here in the file section
Next I guess I need to get a transciever... the IR543 (or 4040) and if I'm using RF, I need to built a RFtoRF to change 418MHz-to-310MHz.
Do I need to know anything else ?
Will my dimmer and lampe module work with the IR543 being that they are made by powerhouse ?
And if I use and RFtoRF, do I still need to get an IR543 or should I get something that listens to RF instead ?
And what's the best way to do all this ?
Meaning best products ? Are there any ?
Did I get it all right ?
Pronto ---(RF)--- RFtoRF---Philipps RF extender---IR543---X10 Lamp Module.
Correct ?
One last thing... Could someone help me understand what is needed to built an RFtoRF. I went to the web site but he doesn't name the components..
Thanks in advance... ;-)

So I have read a little more...
I don't need a IR543 but I will get a RF transceiver.
Should I get the TM751 or should I go with the PAT01 which one site says is much better ?
And I'm still trying to figure out how to build this RFtoRF thing.

I think you would have a much easier time getting the IR543. You stick the emitter from the RX6000 if you are using one right on the face of the IR543 or use the 6000 in IR mode. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com

Yes, I was thinking of doing that anyway... If U say that IR543 is better or les problematic than I'll just go with it.
Do U know if the switches I bought will work with the IR543 ?
Still anyone knows about the RFtoRF diagrams ?

Cool thanks.. I ordered my IR543...
I was just thinking...
I have an RF extender made by Philipps.
will that work to control my IR543 ?
Cause the IR543 is being input some IR and not some RF.
Will I still have the 418 versus 310 problem ?

Just put one of your emitters on the face of the IR543. This will work fine, but not directly RF from the pronto. Bill www.homeautomationnet.com
