RE: new house build



If you've got the facility, (as you have), I'd go for the whole hog....

then you can have things like *ALL* lights on during any kind of alarm
condition (fire/intruder/panic) etc..

When you're lying in bed late at night, and it's cold, it's a virtual
guarantee that if you or someone else has left a light on somewhere, it
will
be one of the ones that are not X10 controllable, so you'll have to get out
of bed to go & turn it off...

great flexibility about your switch locations... and multi-way switching
etc...

etc. etc. etc........
