Bye Bye Standby is a nice retrofit replacement for the majority of X10
tasks.

<p>Hello,<br>
<br>
I can't believe I have only just discovered this mailing list! I
have <=
br>
been a home automation fan for a very long time, and a few years ago
<br>
bought a number of Marmitek X10 modules.<br>
<br>
However in the past year several of my X10 modules have stopped <br>
working. Some of them have started having interference problems (I
<br>
think), a couple of the DIN modules have some kind of electronic or
<br>
mechanical problem. And my cat snapped off the RF aerial of my USB
<br>
controller!<br>
<br>
It is time to move on but what is the best alternative?<br>
<br>
- LightwaveRF<br>
- Home Easy<br>
- Z-Wave<br>
- Rako<br>
- Bye Bye Standby<br>
- Insteon<br>
<br>
Ideally it would be something affordable, easily available in the UK
<br>
and controllable from Linux.<br>
Two-way communication is desirable - like to know that the light <br>
actually received the message to turn on.<br>
