HCA supports the MR26 and contains lots of setup features in processing signals received from the MR26. In addition to receiving the wireless signals, HCA can act as a transceiver to broadcast the signal on the powerline. This gets the signal into the computer much quicker and but still makes it available for devices on the powerline. All this is configurable on a housecode basis. More information on the MR26 can be found on the X10 web site. How HCA uses the MR26 is described in the HCA User Guide Wireless Appendix. Support for the MR26 is in the Standard, Plus, and Pro flavors of HCA. While the MR26 is one cool product, it really lacks a good antenna. Here is a reference that will tell you how to get a better antenna. Either a do-it-yourself version or one assembled for you. http://www.shed.com/tutor/mr26ant.html If you would like a more capable wireless receiver with a much better range, we suggest you look into the W800RF32. |
The MR26 is a interesting little gadget that receives signals from wireless keypads and
from motion sensors and passes them directly to the computer. This can make
processing those signals much faster.
