Re: X-10 alternatives for 220V equipment?

["none" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Elk 9100 is great, they are serious heavy duty X10

I would also recommend the ACT RB204 (ACT makes the best industrial grade
X10 stuff)
http://www.act-solutions.com/pdfs/PCCSpecs/rb204_spec.pdf
The RB204 has some extra features such as the ability for remote manual
control (simple contact closure) and the relay is user replaceable.
