Most people have no major problems with x10 kit..Its not as reliable as a
hardwired lighting system  ie lost messages and i dont believe it has
status
feedback.....Yes it is very well supported....Depends on your budget as
well
..the hardwired systems cost a lot more....If your in / near the London
area
pop into UKHA2004  and have a chat with all the reps from the different
lighting companies as well as the attendees ...
