Re: X10 - how ?

[Ross McKillop <home@xxxxxxx>]

That delay's a bit annoying... would that be the case with any X10
controlled lights or just with the Micromodules? - If it happens with
any of them it puts paid to my idea of RF lightswitch -> RF reciever
module -> X10 signals on mains... as that's sure to add in more of a
delay.
