Re: X10 replacement ?

["Frank Mc Alinden" <armagh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian
Was wondering were you got to ...some one recently inquired about
the
cove lights dev....???

Had a quick look at  your stuff very impressive......Are you using your own
protocol  or     xPL or xAP ???... How about putting leds on the light
switches like the C_Bus ones ???..also a dry contact interface for other
kit
to interface to .... Also Rob ....Shane Harrision has did a lighting system
based on Linet Modules........

Sorry if i missed it but  does it have Status feedback ??? If so i can
see a lot of people getting interested in this ........

Good Luck

Frank
