Have to sympathize
with you on this one. The
problem
is that all of the X10 modules look, in my opinion horrible - with the
exception of the WS10 mains socket, mini timer and IR converter. So as you
say
you are then left pulling cables through for momentary switches and hiding
modules - again less than ideal unless you are planning on rewiring or
redecorating.
The only
suggestion I
have is that if you can get away with lifting a few floorboards and retro
fitting then the results are definitely worth while - the AWM2 are so small
they are much easier to hide.
As for the
curtains I
have no idea how you can accomplish this one if you get an answer I would
love
to know as would like to do the same.

X10
- SWMBO compliance
I've persuaded SWMBO that X10 is a
good
idea in our new house (exchange
tomorrow!). I said we could just change the light
switches to allow X10
control. She did not approve when she saw the
switches. What other options
do I have without extensive rewiring? I'd like to
be
able to just replace a
unit and
gain X10 control, any ideas? It's a victorian house with
period
features if visible
units
need replacing.
Also, I
discussed having X10 control of curtains. Whilst she liked
the
idea, she hates curtain
rails,
and will not have anything other than a
curtain pole. She won't budge on this one.
Any
ideas of how to get round
this
one
without a weekend in Paris?
