Yep, but they house brand it. Modules were about $12 when I looked
yesterday. I am still hoping to find some hoard cheap at a hamfest.
RS not only house brands theirs but they also get them from China and
they don't last long. None of the ones that I've gotten from RS have
lasted more than a couple of months and at least half of them die within a
week. Lesson: Don't buy anything from RS! X-10 has licensed it's
technology to Levitron, RS and a number of other companies so they're all
interchangeable but there's a big differrence in the quality of the parts.

Yes Eric, I also use X-10 to control the lights in my
house. It is
handled by the small controller that plugs into a wall socket and is
programmed by a Radio Shack Color Computer. It has been chuggig along
for about 30 years.
You know, I remember seeing them listed in the RS catalogs
and seeing them in the stores in the past, but I've not noticed them
anytime lately. Do they still sell the stuff for it?
