HOW CAN I GET MY RC5200 TO WORK MY X10 STUFF .THERE SEEMS TO BE A RF CONFIG. IN THE PROPERTIES. WILL THIS WORK SOMEHOW? IF NOT HOW DO I DO IT AND CONTROL IT ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE.

If you are in N. America, the RC5200 uses 418MHz RF while X-10 uses 310MHz RF.

The only way to use it to control X-10 through walls is with an RF2RF converter...

or by adding 310MHz RF to the RC5200...

I have no idea whether the RC5200 board is similar to the TS1000 or TSU2000 boards.

If you live elsewhere, the RC5200 uses 433.92MHz which is also what X-10 uses. You can control it directly with the codes generated by CodeGen™...

THANK YOU I THINK. I GUESS THE ONLY WAY IS TO OPEN AND MODIFY THE REMOTE???IS THERE ANY EXTERNAL PARTS THAT COULD BE ADDED OR MODIFY X10 PARTS?TO THE CORRECT RF FREQ.

Please stop SHOUTING! All caps is very hard to read.

The only practical methods are to build the RF2RF adapter or to add a small RF transmitter and signal conditioning board inside the remote. I've already provided links to web pages with full details for RF2RF adapter and for modifying the TS1000 and TSU2000. The method will be similar with the RC5200 but I've never seen the board inside an RC5200 so details may be different.

Please read the web pages referenced before asking questions that are already answered there. My health is very bad and I don't have a lot of time to waste.

It is not practical to modify the X-10 receivers. Anybody with the type of electronics laboratory equipment needed would not be asking questions like yours.

You could build a BX24-AHT with a 418MHz RF receiver but you would have to get the board made yourself as they are no longer stocked. Those details are here...
