Is there anything better than this cheesy X10 stuff, something that is
_not_ RF based like zigbee would be, and still affordable? The X10

http://www.control4.com/and others ... Google "home automation." They all
have limitations.

Thanks but it's Zigbee, not so good:http://www.control4.com/documents/briefs/Control4-WirelessDimmer.pdf

And only sold through installers at sky-high prices:http://www.asmarterhome.net/494/557.html

This market really needs some new players.
