With an AWM12 and a normal switch, you still have full control via X10. The
normal switch doesn't control power to the AWM12 - the AWM12 samples it in
software.

This means you can spend an amusing 5 minutes frantically turning the
switch
on and off, but the light changing state only every two seconds or so. ;)
