Last Update 6/9/23
Since I didn't have the resources to obtain UL approval, acceptance of a Liability Waiver is required before ordering these devices.
AVAILABILITY:
Unless someone else steps up to take production, most products will be discontinued when the current inventory is gone. A shopping cart button means that product should still be available, and will normally be shipped the next business day.
PRICING:
Kits are priced at the single-quantity component prices, plus a fee for the time it takes to order parts and package the kits (which totals over an hour for the XTB-IIR). The assembly charge covers the labor to assemble and test the units. For reference, back in 2008 an assembly service quoted $90 each for just the XTB-IIR PCB at 40 units.
XTBR Plug-in X10 Booster/Repeater (120V 60Hz ONLY):
The XTBR is a high-power plug-in unit that will repeat all valid X10 commands it receives over the powerline, including "doublet" extended commands produced by the CM15A and some other controllers. It no longer includes the X10 Boost receptacle on the cover, but that function is still available for an X10 transmitter plugged into a nearby outlet. The kit version is no longer available. (Inquire about the availability of a refurbished original version.)
Placing an order means you accept the terms set forth in the Liability Waiver.
XTB-IIR 2-Phase Signal Booster/Repeater:
Sorry, the XTB-IIR and XTB-IIR+ are no longer available.
We occasionally have a refubished unit, and you can contact us at jeff@jvde.us to check availability.
XTB-523 X10 TW523/PSC05 Emulator (120V 60Hz ONLY):
The XTB-523 is designed to replace the discontinued X10 TW523 and PSC05 powerline interface modules. It provides the proprietary digital interface needed by controllers such as the OmniPro II, Ocelot, and the WGL V572A transceiver.
Note: The XTB-523 uses your existing TW523/PSC05 cable.
Placing an order means you accept the terms set forth in the Liability Waiver.
Please refer to the assembly notes before ordering a kit.
XTB-232 RS232 X10 Powerline Interface:
The XTB-232 is a serial X10 powerline interface for PC-based automation systems. This plug-in unit emulates the CM11A "real-time" protocol, and can be directly used as a CM11A substitute for PC-based automation systems such as HomeSeer, Home Control Assistant, or XTension (Mac).
Note: The XTB-232 uses your CM11A cable. An OEM cable can be purchased on eBay. Search "CM11A OEM cable"
A small quantity of the XTB-232 are available, and it may be discontinued when they are gone.
Placing an order means you accept the terms set forth in the Liability Waiver.
The 240V 50Hz version of the XTB-232 is no longer available.
XTB-XM Smartenit Harmony X10 Powerline Interface:
The XTB-XM is a serial X10 powerline interface for the Smartenit Harmony. This plug-in unit emulates the X10 subset of the discontinued Smarthome Internet Modem. The XTB-XM uses the XTB-232 hardware, which was designed as an alternate for the X10 CMllA. When the XTB-XM is used with the Harmony P2 or G2, it must be paired with a CM11A cable and a USB to serial port interface. An existing XTB-232 can be converted to the XTB-XM with a minor hardware change and firmware swap.
Note: An OEM CM11A cable can be purchased on eBay. Search "CM11A OEM cable"
The XTB-XM will be assembled to order, and it may take several days before one will be shipped.
For conversion, ship to: JV Digital Engineering, 396 North Crestline Circle, St. George, UT, 84790

XTB-ANR Active Noise Reducer (120V 60Hz ONLY):
The XTB-ANR is a small plug-in module that will significantly reduce even in-band noise on its circuit. One plugged into each phase near the distribution panel will significantly reduce the overall noise levels throughout the home, including any coming in over the utility feed.
Special: Check below to order a pair of these devices at a discounted price.
XTB-F15+ High Current X10 Filter (120V 60Hz ONLY):
The XTB-F15+ is a high-current X10 filter with even better performace than the XTB-F15. Component values have been chosen for minimum loading while providing maximum isolation for powerline noise generators.
A limited number of these filters are available.
Firmware updates are available for most products. The latest XTBR and XTB-IIR updates correct a hidden problem. Others add features or address minor issues.
$4 will be added for packaging and postage in the U.S.
The PIC microcontrollers are back in stock, so no exchange is necessary.
