New x10 Wi-Fi unit

[Tuicemen]

Do you know which TI chip they are using? My guess is either the CC3100 or CC3200 which cost 10-15x what the ESP8266 costs while having far less capability.

I don't know which new TI chip the module is using.
I do know they were working closely with the chip manufacture to insure it would perform the way they wished. It didn't sound like it was something already available however it may have been and it just needed tweaking.

Dan1,
I can confirm Bluestacks works from Windows X10, actually I find it faster then on my Windows 7 PC

I'm sure you know this - but the XTB-IIR repeater makes the most of any/all X10 systems, regardless of the back end.  In truth, it was the first thing added to my unreliable system - and it made such a big difference, I felt confident to accumulate the rest of my "new" stuff.

Any update on the release?

[Tuicemen]

Authinx was to have received the final build and latest update software last week with any issues to be reported back by end of this week.
Baring no major issues a production run was to start next week.
However the owner had expressed some concern as it seemed every time he attempted contact there seemed to be a holiday in China.
I'll see what new info I can get to pass on.

This is starting to sound like a bad joke.

PLC modem that interfaces to computing devices through wifi, as opposed to usb or other serial interface.

Is this like the X10 commander which allows one to control X10 devices with the Wi-Fi  with a smartphone or tablet?

This is to be a new device which will allow you to send x10 PLC commands via Wi-Fi using a smartphone tablet or even PC.
it talks to your router via wifi.
If the x10 commander your referring to is software then it isn't the same, as that requires a PC (running 24/7and a cm15 or cm19 the wi-fi unit doesn't require those however it will work with them.
This also doesn't require a PC at all it runs independent .

I don't remember a hardware X10 Commander.
I have both a VCR Commander and VCR Commander 2. That where hardware.

It got me back into my house when I locked myself out since the garage door opener is on a UM506. Worth every penny.

It got me back into my house when I locked myself out since the garage door opener is on a UM506. Worth every penny.

I also use the Melloware software (on a tiny laptop with a CM19) and the app running on my iPhone. A great addition to my X10 setup.

I am also running the myQ (chamberlain) garage door and app on my iphone... and an accessory module. Also a handy add-on.

Been a long week. Any new info.

The owner has been out of the country and is due back later today.
I'm hoping to get some update before the weekend.
