I have been a loyal X10 user for thirty years, having purchased close to a thousand dollars worth of modules (for myself and others) over the years.
Recently, my stock of spares has been hard hit, as I have encouraged some friends to start using home automation, giving or lending them some start-up modules.
I gave my elder son a complete starter kit for his brand-new home, including my spare CM15a, transceivers, phase coupler, and various lighting and appliance modules.
Within a short time, my CM15a bit the dust (I haven't totally given up on it. I will try to troubleshoot the circuitry when I get the time.)
I dug out my old trusty rusty CM11, and am limping along with it at the present time.
Yesterday, I promised a friend my last two PR511 floodlight fixtures, and now I see that they have been dropped too.
I am seriously considering switching to Insteon, since, at least for now, they claim compatibility with X10.
Their software, compared to HD Pro, appears to be a throwback to the line commands of DOS 1.0!
Arrrrgh!
