Re: The problems with X10 ...

Price doesn't always correlate with the quality of product.  What's the
alternative you suggest?

X10 is an open standard and perhaps the only one with 2nd source.  The
price cannot be bad.  All carrier line signaling systems suffers
similar problems.  The wireless standard is still fairly new and hardly
any components on sale on the net.  It cost a fortune now.  Wireless
systems can be jammed easily unless for a spread spectrum system, which
make it harder, but not much harder when the intruders can get close to
the receiver.

X10 is the pioneer of using Chinese factories.  Who doesn't nowadays?
Just that the other system prices don't reflect the crap manufacturing
price and pass on the savings.  I don't see what a properly installed
X10 system can't do when other systems can.  It's all about objectives
and the minimum cost to get it done, and no more.
