Re: Is X10 still the way to go?

I'll second Chris' recommendation for Idratek system. The modules
cover
all aspects of HA sensoring and control. The backup support from the
guys at Idratek is second to none (any queries I have are all answered
within the same day and an lengthy explanation to boot).

The main software, Cortex, gives you a control and data logging
interface, whilst each module can fall back to basic functionallity.
The latter would be useful in the event of a power cut, once restored
the modules would be functional within 2 / 3 seconds. Also covers the
loss of the central PC.

Not sure why Mal is questioning Chris' comments, but I would certainly
recommend having a look at Idratek and making up your own mind.
