ACT's in-wall controllers can be configured to poll the device to confirm
its state change.  Unfortunately, last time I checked the ACT controllers
required ACT's modified status response (they add the unit code) so you
couldn't use a generic X10 2-way module.  Of course, at this point I'm
not sure where ACT is in the X10 market...
