Powerline Control Components (PCC) FAQ page
This series was originally written for the Home Automation E-zine http://www.hometoys.com with the intent of educating those readers in the complex technology of powerline carrier devices. This series, done over a two year period, was written with that home automation "do-it-yourselfer" or custom installer as its target audience. Please understand that these articles read as part technical and part editorial. They were written in a somewhat irreverent and humorous manner and often reference other companies in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. Occasionally, there may be a reference to an obsolete part or an out of date concept. Please contact ACT for updated information. We wish to thank "HomeToys" for allowing us to reproduce these here.
