This whole thing forces me to bring up a question..... If you use X-10 to remotely control various things in your
home and a major problem occurs because of an internet communication problem, is X-10 going to take the legal
responsibility for failure in their servers? If they offered you a method to control it with your own server, and you
make the choice to use theirs, then you are responsibile. If they don't offer this option, they are FORCING you
to depend on their servers, thereby taking on this responsibility for themselves.
I'm not sure how far this responsibility would go, but rest assured that I intend to check further with people
who will know. (Note: this will take some time. I feel the need to do this locally and personally.)
As soon as I have some Verified information, I will pass it along. I'm sure my state, and many others, will not offer
much but there are some states that don't allow limitation on liability. Might make X-10 re-think this situation.
