RE: [ukha_d] RE: AD10 - clunks but doesn't always turn on the light ?

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

Thanks for the link.. those look very interesting, especially the fact
they mount on a DIN rail.

I take your point about X10, but most of the time I am using the local
switch to turn them on
so its pretty instant. I'm mainly using X10 to turn all the lights off
at night or after we've gone to
work.

Marcus

<http://www.newark.com/product-details/text/catalog/79371.html>

As i mentioned in my previous post you should be able to source
them from
any major electrical wholesaler .......

You are but using x10 which i assumed would have some
delay...whereas if you
used buttons connected directly to Homevision it would be much
quicker....???
