X10 Questions

["David Claxton" <UKHA@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,
Just a few X10 questions from a beginner:

1. What's the maximum distance that the X10 transmitter will be able to
send
a signal? (for example will I be able to switch on/off a light/appliance
in
my garage which is not adjoined to my house?)

2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using an X10 wall switch over
an
X10 light socket?

3. Will I still be able to use the light switch to switch the light on
and
off regardless of what state I last left the X10 light switch
controller?
(for example if I have switched the light off via X10 will I be able to
walk
into the room and switch the light back on with the light switch?)

4.I saw mention of an IR controlled/touch sensitive light switch from
TLC
Direct, can these be used in conjunction with an X10 socket?

Thanks in advance.
