I did consider this; but not knowing the technicalities of the X10 module,
I
am unsure :

1/ If any short or leakage would pass-through the X10 module to the RCD
correctly to allow it to trip,

2/ That I would not fry the X10 module in the event of a short.

This is interesting; I was actually putting two devices in; (mains voltage)
pump, and low voltage lights (with power supply in the house). Do I not
need
the RCD for the lights then?
