Re: X10 - how ?

["Malcolm Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxx>]

Comfort has the 8-channel dimmer for £430, 12-channel relay for £512.
The 4 channel switch interface is £88.

That works out at roughly £75 per dimmed light, or £65 per switched
appliance.

On top of that, there's £300 for the computer interface.

It's a ludicrous price for what this stuff actually does.
