BoyntonStu,

Could you simply use the RKR24 keyfob (which sends "normal" X10 RF signals) along with a TM751 (which is a RF receiver for "normal" X10 RF signals and has a built-in appliance module)?

Or am I missing the point?

Excellent, on point advice.

The KC674 or the KR19a are battery operated and would need some simple surgery to attach my leak detector switch.

It is a perfect for an emergency and/or fun remote to control the house water.

As you drive away, turn the water OFF.

I think that I will include one in every installation.

The ac powered powerflash sender is more of a "set it and forget it" leak detector.

It has contacts that are much easier to wire than to solder into a keychain remote.

Plug them into a receptacle and place the leak detection elements all around the house; under the refrigerator,  under the kitchen sink, under the HWH, under the washing machine, etc.

Any one will turn off the entire house water.

I was just assuming that you wanted the DS10 because it was wireless.

Yeah, as far as not needing to change batteries, I'd go with the powerflash as a sender.

However, depending on your business model, some sort of service contract to come replace batteries every now and again could be beneficial too.   :'

The MS16a's take care of the battery changing requirement.

BTW It is fairly easy to keep the memory when changing batteries.
