The X10Net network features offers two extra advantages:

1. All PCs on a local area network can have X10 control, even though only a single PC has X10 control hardware (such as a CP290, etc) attached.
2. Multiple PCs can include X10 control hardware to overcome X10 phase problems.

The second point can be important for some X10 users. Most homes have electrical wiring that is phase based. If you have an X10 module on one phase, and an X10 control unit on the other phase, they will likely not communicate. This feature allows you to have two X10 control units at different PCs on each phase. Then commands issued from any PC will execute on each PC and on each phase.

X10Net includes multiple options for Event Rules.  This allows the user to build a system that reacts to motion sensors and perform different tasks in different times of the day.  Common users for Rules might include:

• Motion sensors that trigger a WAV play over PC speakers
• Key chain remotes that turn on multiple lights throughout the house with a single button press
• Motion sensors that turn on room lights and then display a message on a PC that the room is occupied
• Garage door sensors that trigger a Text-To-Speech message over the PC speakers
• Execute another windows program based on an event
• Send an automatic E-Mail message based on an event

There is no limit to the number of rules that can be used.
