Not really sure what you mean- I'm planning to use it _instead_ of X10- as
well as the buttons themselves, there are assorted parts (thermometer,
switch/input) which could easily be used for home
automation/security/access- they basically have defined a network protocol
(microLAN). I'm planning to use the ubiquitous PIC microcontroller for any
more complex functions...
At the moment I'm busy getting the first phase of cat-5 cabling into the
house, then I can start playing for real!
