You can alter US modules to run at 240V, check out Ido Bartana's website
for
more info ( http://www.geocities.com/ido_bartana

That all depends what you mean. The big downside to X10 in the UK is that
very few modules will report their state, so it's up to your
controller/software to keep track of state (no easy task)
The CM12U will listen to the powerline and send any X10 commands it hears
through to the serial interface, where you HA software can do with the as
it
pleases.
