NEWSGROUP: Comp.Home.Automation

[steven r]

OK. I'm curious. 

I created this thread Ã,« on: 2006-08-27, 01:42:47 Ã,» and it had a few views and ZERO replies until roger1818 Ã,« Reply #1 on: 2006-09-08, 13:37:02 Ã,» (12 days).

Now it's gotten replies 3 days in a row and LOTs of views - why the sudden interest?

Could be Roger's magnetic personality. More likely it just slipped by till his post bumped it back into the light.

  Veeerry interesting indeedee ! 
comp.home.automation with 59,600 X10 posts is definately a Gold Mine of information.
Even some of the non X10 posts have valuable information for X10 users.

TTA, Thanks for pointing me to this NG.

I just returned from a Newsgroup visit and there are quite a few interesting, highly-technical (may induce 'Brain-Freeze' depending on your current level of knowledge ) recent posts (time period 04/23/2007 back to 04/17/2007; I only viewed a few threads from the first page, 1-30 of 38835, before my old brain NUMBED over with the level of technical details being discussed. ) from a few of the X10 Pioneers.

Just in case you don't know any 'names', check out anything by (Newsgroup IDs):

• Jeff Volp (of course! )
• Dan Lanciani
• Dave Houston

If your head starts to hurt while reading, don't say that I didn't warn you!

Water heater eating X-10 signal is the one that 'done me in'...

Some interesting info there on passive signal couplers.  I'll port some of that over to my tutorial in the coming weeks.
