<h1>Hardware Support: Powerline Controllers</h1>
<p>This page describes how to configure JMRI to talk to Powerline controllers, e.g. X10,
Insteon, DMX.</p>
<h2 id="hardware">Supported Hardware</h2>
<p>The <a href="Compatibility.shtml">Powerline compatibility page</a> shows which Adapters
are supported by JMRI.</p>

<p>JMRI Lights work intuitively with Powerline devices. When a JMRI Light is set "ON", a
command is sent to the remote device to set it "ON". Ditto for "OFF".</p>
<p>There's also support for dimming (variable brightness) Lights. See the JMRI
<a href="../../../package/jmri/jmrit/simplelightctrl/SimpleLightCtrl.shtml">"Light Control"
page</a> for more information on this.</p>
<p>JMRI Turnouts are available for X10. When the JMRI Turnout is set to "THROWN", a command
is sent to the remote device to set it to "BRIGHT". This is an immediate, full-power on.<br>
When the Turnout is set to "CLOSED", the remote device is sent a command to go "OFF".
Depending on the X10 hardware, this may be either an immediate off, or be slowly dimmed.</p>
