Re: X10? Any good? Need some advice.

["Doug L" <vssdoug@xxxxxxx>]

What data do you have to back up your statement that the X10 is just as
reliable as any other security hardware made? other than having recently
installed a X10 system in your home what experience have you had with X10
and other security hardware that would allow you to come to such a
conclusion.?

Twice you mentioned no monthly fees as a benefit to X10, but monthly fees or
lack of them have nothing to do with the hardware, they are part of the
monitoring or leasing agreement, if you are DIY you could purchase and
install almost any security alarm yourself without incurring monthly fees.
