Its sad, I worked in the electrical hardware retail feild for 10 years, have always been a electrical buff and have had x10 products since the late 1980's. If they would work within the industry to promote their product they would do better. first off, theyre product is too expensive, not US made and they have aleinated leviton and cooper wiring devices by not offering better products. now the Z-wave is taking over, but thats still too expesive. X10 need to work with Leviton electrical product to promote their system. leviton had always had the DHC (decora home controls) line which was based in the PLC technology. it still works, and can be made IF X10 would get off their butts and contract with leviton and cooper wiring devices to make the product line. the price needs to come down so the general home owner and the public in general can afford the system.... its getting too expensive and people won't buy into it. Home depot tried several years ago to sell the X10 line, they dropped it because X10 could not provide the stock... wonder what would have happend if they had Leviton backing them up?? then what.... X10 could have made a great sale! plus, they use to sell their product through Sears, and Radioshack.... both companies dropped the line due to cost, too expensive... now, if Leviton it the "parent" behind the X10 system, then its really their fault for not selling the product in the first place... home automation is not just for the rich, its for everyone. though you have to be "rich" to afford it... crazy world, now isint it....
