RE: X10 light switch control - in layman's terms please :-)

["Mark Hetherington" <mark.egroups@xxxxxxx>]

I would recommend the LD11 plus momentary switches over the AWM2. It might
mean running some cable to install them depending on how your lighting
circuits are wired up but you get dimming and soft start as well as X10
control.

HTH.
