    A little effort, but you can make new tech work with old devices
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018*

I finally got it to work in Window 10. Install the Firecracker software, then navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\X10\DriverInstall\Wireless Transceivers" and right click on X10ufirx.Inf. From the popup dialog, Choose "Install". The right click the FireCracker (Palm Pad in my case) window and Setup FireCracker. I'm not sure it is necessary, but I also set the program ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\X10\Common\firecracker.exe" in 64-bit Windows, "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\firecracker.exe" I assume in 32-bit) to run in Windows XP, Service Pack 3 Mode and Run as Administrator.

I received the item in 4 days and it works as advertised!!! I plan on using this with ZigBee and other home automation products as x10 is being phased out, and this will work nicely. thanks for getting it to me so soon!!!

The X-10 Firecracker is an inexpensive way to dabble in home automation using the X-10 protocol, a Raspberry Pi, a USB-A to RS-232M Cable, an X-10 receiver, a few dimmer and appliance switches.  In addition, you’ll need a free open source program, heyu, to interface with the firecracker. Using the AlarmClock widget on the Pi you can turn things like lights and appliances on and off on schedule.
