Please log in for more thread options Are these two products compatible? That is, do they use the same frequency? I'd like to buy a Terk transmitter if it will work with my existing X10 Powermid receiver. Thanks in advance for the info... | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options In North America the Powermids use 418MHz. While most Terk units also use 418MHz I am not sure that all do - I vaguely recall seeing some that used another frequency. Do you have a model number? Terk manuals often list the frequency. If you know the FCC ID number you can determine the frequency at... https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm rechumor@dataintright.com wrote: | |||||||||||||

The Terk model number is (I guess) LF-IRX: http://www.smarthome.com/8220F.HTML The Powermid is RE549. | |||||||||||||

According to... http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_013.html Terk is 433.92MHz so they are incompatible. rechumor@dataintright.com wrote: >The Terk model number is (I guess) LF-IRX:

Do you think there would be any way to alter the frequency to 418MHz? I only ask because the Terk model is the only one I've seen that runs on batteries. Or, alternatively, would it be possible to alter the Powermid to work at 433MHz? | |||||||||||||
