Is there anything better than this cheesy X10 stuff, something that is

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.

I had the same experience. Left me in an extreme state of disgust that
company making those "products" would have audacity to sell them
