Gary,

As someone fairly new to X10, who is _not_ in a position to rewire his hous= e
totally and/or start fitting momentary contact switches, I would say that t= o
reach a wider audience, these modules would need to have:
- Local control from a normal light switch
- Status Response

And dimming would be nice though, not _necessarily_ essential in my case.
I'm sure some of the old hands of X10 would say also that lack of status response is a big PITA with X10 stuff here in the UK.

just my 2p worth.


Tony
