You'll need to provide a lot more information than that. How much X10?

What kind of devices? How many of each kind of device? What does he
want to control? If there is more than just a few items, you can expect
to spend a few hundred dollars or more, just to prepare and set the
homes wiring up to properly send and receive X10 signals more reliably.


Although I could likely help you get started, I'd suggest that you will
get much more detailed help from a Home automation newsgroup than an
alarm newsgroup if your project is of any size. There are some people
in this group that can direct you to another group that is mentioned
occasionally here.

I'll be away for a week or so, so I don't want to start a thread with
you and then leave you stranded.
