Hi Everyone,
 
 As a newcomer to home automation i wanted some advice. I have yet to purchase any hardware but after scouring the internet have decided that Powerhome seems like an excellent place to get all the features i would like. I have programming knowledge but find myself stuck when it comes to purchasing the correct interface to work with Powerhome.
 
 I am a UK resident and through UK websites i seem to have quite a small choice. I have found these interfaces but would really appreciate your help with choosing which one will work with powerhome correctly.

 If you could help me with this problem i would be extremely greatful.
 
 Thanks for your time,
 
 Matt.

PH works with X-10 controllers CM-11A and CM-17A (as 
 well as Insteon controllers which also work with X-10).  
 Altho, I am not certain, I think your link #3 is close 
 to the CM-11A serial and should work.
