Hi ,

We would like to find how can we buy a unit that will take RS485
commands and translate it to X10 and vise versa.

Best regards

Oren Levy

Oren,

There are devices which can send X10 commands and can
receive signals via RS485. Can you please be more specific
as to what you wish to control and what will be sending the
signals (home automation controller, PC, etc.)

The ELK Products M1G home automation controller (which
I sell online) has an RS485 communications bus. It can
control X10 devices as well as Z-Wave, UPB and others.
This is a full blown HA controller and may be much more
than what you're looking for.

ELK Products also makes "Magic Module" series HA controllers
with RS485 and X10 capabilities. At the URL below I list
various Magic Modules and accessories.

Adicon's Ocelot controller (which I don't sell) is an X10
controller with RS485.
