Re: X10 Controller Question

["Jeff Volp" <JeffVolp@xxxxxxx>]

We use the Leviton 16400 controller for devices that we want to know their
status - such as scheduled irrigation cycles.  That in-wall controller has
up to 4 rocker switches for on/off control, and has a LED that indicates
when the device is on.  The LED also illuminates when the device that switch
normally controls is turned on by another controller.

We also have a re-circulating pump for instant hot water at all locations.
The Ocelot turns that pump on every 15 minutes, and runs it only long enough
to push new water to the furthest point.  With the entire hot water loop
well insulated, the temperature remains essentially constant.
