Like these units, but a major drawback if you use more than one is the irritation of having to reset the house code/unit when you change batteries.  I'd pay extra if these things had a micro switch that could be set with srewdriver tip for house code/unit code.  I have 6 of these and changing batteries and resetting codes turns into a real pain.
Anybody know of any other remote sensor that works with X10's that doesn't have this design limitation?

The REX10 DM10A Sensor for the RoboDog Consloe.
Actually has a House and Unit Code dial.
It also has the unique quality of only sending On signal and never an Off.

Here is info on adding a cap to provide time to change batteries with out losing HCUC programming.

I theory, you could use a wired motion sensor with a PowerFlash unit.
