Yes, code frowns upon that, apparently.  But yes, it does work nicely!

Look, I'm not casting the Lutron stuff as the end-all-be-all solution.  It
has it's limitations (mainly total device count).  But I'm saying that for
wall switches and overall reliable functionality that X-10 is a miserably
defective solution.  I dearly hope alternatives like zigbee and the like
gain enough traction to make X-10 a distant bad memory.
