Re: Alternative to X10's remote features?

["Frank Mc Alinden" <frankmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

I  need to sprinkle  some plugin modules around the house and decided to
use
x10 as the Clipsal wireless modules here in Oz are around 3 times the price
of an x10 plugin module....Even in my small shack i have trouble getting
x10
to work ,so i have ordered one of Jefff Voip,s XTB 11  see link.........

I have actually just installed my first x10 module ...a n AD10  to control
the lights in my shed....

Another solution could be ZWAVE but  you would probably need to have a xAP
plugin for that.....

HTH
Frank

Still thinking and planning on my X10 to CBus migration - dimmer unit etc
are fine BUT, I could still do with the odd unit here and there similar to
the plug-in X10 appliance and lamp modules.

Of course, I could just use X10 appliance and lamp modules! BUT, X10 in my
house is very unreliable, so would prefer something more robust but without
hard wiring and associated relays etc etc.

Does CBus have a similar wireless solution to the X10 lamp/appliance
modules? Is there some other system that I should be looking at to
supplement the main CBus install?

Paul.
