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.
