Hello

I work in a company that wants to work in home automation field. We need x10 modules to make this task.

The problem is that nearly all x10 modules that I have found
can not make what we want.

Most so called x10 modules I have found is not modules, but they are "devices" (which means they can not be parts of other products). I need a module that for example takes a data through serial pins, and packaging it in x10 form. The an x10 receiver does the decoding and give me the data again through serial pins. Are there somethings similar to what I describe? I think that the matter is easy, but I do not know why all products talks about other things
 
TW523 is what I use.
Smarthome 1132b is a new product that looks better. Have not used.

I am moving over to xbee for sending data but will continue to use X10 for turning lights on/off.
 
X10 is very slow, old and very unreliable. Your company might want to consider an RF solution.

I will tell you more details
We want to control home lighting using a mobile. Are there any kind of mobiles that can send RF signals? (other than IR and wifi and blue tooth)
 
z-wave, Insteon, UPB,x-10 to start. Search home automation.
ColoradoVnet BIG$$$$$ and a pain to work with.
Report back with what you find!
