[Jonniex10]

I was one of the early adopters of X10 and in promoting it to make neighborhood houses to look lived in in a difficult neighborhood, I installed wall switches, appliance modules, lamp switches, motion sensors and even used the first burglar alarm system. Now that I have replaced most of the hardware I find myself with a box filled with 20+ old items. Almost all have been replaced because they don't work anymore.

What's the best thing to do with them? I would give them away, but I can't imagine anyone wanting the old brown controllers, or the old minis or "aggravating to program" clock controllers. Should I just put them in the recyclables?

Can anyone tell me what is appropriate.

Thank you.

Give us a list of what you have in and see if anybody is interested in them.  The poster above your post did that and sold virtually eventing he had.

I don't know if anyone here would be interested in broken devices, but you never know.

Spare parts can be handy.  I had saved an old TM751 that died from a static zap to the antenna.  Recently the TM751 that shuts off power to our Onkyo receiver while on standby started making the multi-clunk, and would not switch off.  I thought the contacts had welded on, but it was one of the bumps on the nylon cam had broken off.  So I just stole the cam out of the prior defective TM751, and it is back in service again.  With some new X10 devices becoming scarce, there may be a market for old parts.  eBay...

I, for one, rather enjoy my hard to program clock controller.  I especially love missing the time by a single minute and having to cycle the whole 24 hours to get back.  PM me if you want to sell.
