Have to sympathize with you on this
one. The problem is that all of
the
X10 modules look, in my opinion horrible - with the exception of the WS10
mains socket, mini timer and IR converter. So as you say you are then left
pulling cables through for momentary switches and hiding modules - again
less
than ideal unless you are planning on rewiring or
redecorating.
The only suggestion I have is that if
you
can get away with lifting a few floorboards and retro fitting then the
results
are definitely worth while - the AWM2 are so small they are much easier
to hide.
As for the curtains I have no idea how
you
can accomplish this one if you get an answer I would love to know as would
like
to do the same.

Subject: [ukha_d] Curtain
Control
and X10 - SWMBO compliance
I've persuaded SWMBO that
X10
is a good idea in our new house (exchange
tomorrow!). I said we could just change
the
light switches to allow X10
control. She did not approve when she
saw
the switches. What other options
do I have without extensive rewiring?
I'd
like to be able to just replace a
unit and gain X10 control, any ideas?
It's a
victorian house with period
features if visible units need
replacing.
Also, I discussed having X10 control of
curtains. Whilst she liked the
idea, she hates curtain rails, and will not
have
anything other than a
curtain pole. She won't budge on this
one. Any ideas of how to get round
this one without a weekend in
Paris?
