you have any ideas about using relays or some thing connected

like a dimmer switch controlling motors ETC if you have any thought

X10, why reinvent the wheel?
Does anyone on this list use X-10 in one of their systems? And if so,
what for? Just curious.
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.
30 years?!?! Err, 2001 - 30 = 1971. Now, I remember going to RS to see
this computer because, being a Mot 6800 fan, I had to see this box with a
6809 in it. That was 1978 or 1979. Do you mean 21 years?
