RE: x10 & security if using (RF or IR)

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Most people who have X-10 integrated with their security use it pretty much
one-way only...

... ie the security system is able to tell the X-10 controller which zones
have been triggered, so the HA controller can do "HA stuff"
accordingly.

But the system can't be disarmed by an X-10 message :-)

I was just wondering isnt there a big security hole if you use IR or 
RF with your X10 system?

If you only have lights and other appliances on then the worst that 
someone can do is really turn on your lights if they wandered up to 
your house with an X10 remote. But what if it were wired up to your 
security?

Any thoughts?
