Title: Powerhorn out of stock
Post by: arubya on December 28, 2012, 09:01:30 PM

I purchased an X10 security system in November. X10 was out of the large powerhorns. They say that there is no eta on when they will restock. (I feel like am am getting the run around with their customer service) Does anyone know if there are other powerhorns that will work with X10 system?

Only the X10 PH508A/X10Pro PSH01 Large Powerhorn and the X10 SH10A/X10pro PSH02 Small Powerhorns work with the X10 security consoles.

With the PH508A/PSH01. Depending on Date Code some do not act exactly as expected with a SC1200/SC12 Console.

Since X10 closed their factory in China and are having SOME modules made by outside sources. Many modules are discontinued or are slowly showing back up in stock. I have not seen any indications they are discontinued or just back ordered. So will X10 ever have them again. We don't know. As we are a User To User type forum and don't see to much input from X10 employees.

Do a web search for a PH508 and see what you can find.
This dealer still lists them as available while others are showing out of stock.
