This compact unit allows you to manage up to 8 different groups of X10 receivers, including lamp modules, appliance modules, wall switches, and universal modules. It features dedicated buttons for dimming and brightening lights, as well as an "All Lights On" and "All Units Off" function for quick control of your entire X10 system.
