Re: X10 how popular is it in the UK, as I would like to design products for it?

["Marc Mosthav" <marc@xxxxxxx>]

At my place I don't seem to have too much trouble with RF. What I would
quite like is an RF module That plugs behind the switch (momentary if dim
is
needed and normal if not). It would be a bit like those ugly American
switches but would seamlessly integrate into a UK home.
