Err, yeah I suppose, my point being one of distance coverage.  The repeater
being inside the home, in a basement up near the floor joists, and the
outbuilding being some 60' away through brick-on-block 50's era
construction.  My furthest switch currently is beyond the recommended
distance and works quite reliably, in an area known to cause WiFi and
cordless phone trouble (recognizing the frequency differences).  My point
being that RadioRA seems quite a bit more useful than some others.  I look
forward to being able to try zigbee devices in this same setup, presuming of
course that someone actually starts shipping them through something other
than $tealership channels.

True, X10 RF seems quite a bit less horrible than their PLC stuff.
Excepting, of course, that X10's RF devices don't do what the RadioRA stuff
does.  It's sort of apples and oranges.  I do plan on continuing to use the
RF aspects of some X10 remotes, just not their PLC devices.  A few slim
switches tied into a WF800 and Homeseer will compliment the RadioRA wall
switches quite nicely.
