RE: Getting started with X10

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

John,

I'm wondering, from your module numbers if you're in the US? The reason I a= sk this is that we in the UK (the UK of UKHA) are only really on LM12s rath= er than 15s.

If you are in the States, then please don't leave us, but do be warned that= some of the discussion, particularly around product availability / supplie= rs, is a bit UK-centric. (Although we have a large Antipodean contingent.)<= BR>
The other possibility is that you are, of course, in the UK, but getting yo= ur information from American websites.

Any way, for a starter kit, I'd consider an LW10 wall switch instead of the= LM15. The pricing, I'd expect to pay (assuming you're in the UK), includin= g VAT is:

- CM12 - =A350
- LW10 - =A330
- LM12 - =A323.50

I'm not aware of anyone selling the CM12 without the software :0(

Alternatively, a starter kit containing an LM (lamp module), an AM (applian= ce module), and a CM (computer module) can be had for about =A377.

In terms of UK suppliers, I have a strong recommendation for either www.let= sautomate.com, or www.laser.com - that's not to say that the other supplier= s aren't good - only that I don't have experience of them.

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

I've only just discovered this list and hope someone may be able to help me out in getting started with X10. I've never used it or even seen it in <= BR> use but would like to get round to finding out what is involved in setting =
it up.

By my reckoning, all I need for a very basic starter kit is the
following:-

CM12U Computer Controller
LM15  Socket Rocket
AM15  Appliance Module

Does this sound OK? How much should I be looking to pay?

Is it possible to get a CM12U without any software at a discount? I don't <= BR> use Windows so don't like to pay for something I'll have no use for.
