Sorry, I miss read a bit of your post. With Din rail modules the norm=20
is to use momentary switches so there is no on/off state on the=20
switch and therefore the x10 equipment always works. It is true that=20
with plug in modules someone can turn off the socket and the x10 unit=20
will then be inaccessible. And my rant about lack of status feedback=20
still stands.
