I happened to find some x10/radio shack "plug'n power  lamp modules at my local independent,the packages were yellow and obliviously very old but were only 8 bucks a piece I bought all they had told them to let me know if they had or found any others.

You can get them for half that under the IBM name:

I found an expansion kit that included 3 lamp modules, 1 appliance, a WS467, and a mini controller all for $15, with free shipping. Search IBM Home director.

Well what happen to x10's new security console seems like they pulled it. Well I personally don't think it should of ever been introduced with all the problems it was plagued with.
The rumor is X10 is in the process of closing their doors. I read on the Homeseer forum that the X10 factory has been shut down and what X10 is now selling is just what is left in the pipeline. Maybe the SC1200 sold out first.


Hi Dave don't you have a new SC1200? Are you still using it? Thanks

The Home Automation Store still shows having the SC1200 but the price is much higher than we are use to.

If the story is not correct. Then we wait for the "Big News" post from X10. With the feeling we where duped.
"....the feeling..."

It won't be just a feeling, it would be a dupe. One has to admit, pretty ingenious. Sorta like the furniture store that would have a "Going Out of Business" sale every month. But it will destroy the remaining customer loyalty that X10 users may still have. And X10 needs to keep that capital. Also, just like the furniture store, it only works (good) once.

The one thing that makes me think it is real, is the fact we have heard nothing contrary, and X10 is now selling competing remote control products on their web store.

I agree with dave w
We have a clothing outlet here that pulls the same stuff almost every couple of months
They have been here for about 15 years and still haven't closed the doors
Guess the fact that they are all we got within about 60 miles helps alot :-\

More than 60 mile to the nearest Wal-Mart?? I don't want to ask how far to Home Depot and Best Buy! My goodness, that is so sad. 
Actually I am looking for a cave in Kentucky or a private island...so maybe you live where I wish I did. ;)

I get the impression that in recent weeks there has been an  increased chatter of "where is my refund complaints" in the forums and the facebook fan page.  In another forum site I follow there is  that big $149 rebate for the "free" X10 camera system that no has received yet (over there people have begun filing credit card disputes claims since its past due... maybe they'll start paying soon)  Not a good sign. You might speculate X10 has cashflow issues because they are slow to payout/refund or maybe its just plain bad customer service.  I hope X10 is here to stay since I was one those people that bought sc1200 security system and want to get future warranty support.

It won't be just a feeling, it would be a dupe. One has to admit, pretty ingenious. Sorta like the furniture store that would have a "Going Out of Business" sale every month. But it will destroy the remaining customer loyalty that X10 users may still have. And X10 needs to keep that capital. Also, just like the furniture store, it only works (good) once.

Now you guys got me thinking about those two bad power supplies I sent back that were supposed to be under warranty. I never did hear back from them. Time to make some phone calls.

I found this, maybe all is not lost. Maybe someone will pick up where X10 left off.  ???
