There's an article in the latest Popular Mechanics about networkable house
wiring - switches and receptacles that have network addresses and communicate
either through the house wiring or through RF.
I've long heard about the X10 stuff, but this sounds more useful. I don't
care about making the coffee pot come on via the Internet while I'm 3
countries away - but adding additional 2-way switches and switched receptacles
without stuffing more wires into full conduits - that's great !!
Has anyone here used any of these devices ? Can you comment on reliability
and ease of use ? I don't something that will leave us in the dark till I
replace it, or worse, baffle my wife. Any brand recommendations ?
Thanks!
Karl
