All of the Insteon lamp modules are bi-directional in their X10
behavior.  I don't want to fill my house with bi-directional lamp
modules due to the risk of excessive X10 signal absorption.

That's why I'm going down this path.  I think something will be lost
when Smarthome exits the market for plain X10 hardware.  They made a
lot of good stuff.
