X-10 (was Re: controlling power)

Mostly, though, I've been using palm pads, not computer control. Got lots of X-10 stuff, more in boxes than in the walls. Some of it works, some has died over the past 10 years. Got one wall-switch module that only works over the AC lines (dead pushbutton), another that doesn't respond electronically, but the tiny override switch works. Someday, I might pull them both and combine them. :-) I was offered a *huge* box (> 1 cu ft) of modules at Dayton for $0.25 each. The seller said they didn't work and I didn't feel like speculating on a mondo pile of RS returns. I might have gotten the whole box for the cost of two or three modules, but the time involved to test them all was worth more than I felt they were worth. -ethan ===== Visit "The Seventh Continent" http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
