Status response v.Important certainly but also the ability to integrate with a 'normal' household (eg by NOT requiring you to replace your existing light switches for local control)  is, IMO, important to grow the market to newbies entering the HA arena....
 
£30 would be good, £15 even better :-)

I think status report is the key. It would justify even slightly higher cost.
I think that micromodules are the cheapest modules with status report, and I would install them everywhere, if they are just a bit cheaper (around £60, I think at the moment). And they are double, so If you have just a single socket to put it in ju wasted one module.
If you can make single ones, with same specs for about £30, that would be great job :-).
Cheers,
Nik
 
Will your Lamp module be small enough to fit in a switch box, behind the switch?
Will it require 3-wire wiring?

At the moment the 1st X10 project, will be a Lamp Module, it will be
a fully working 2" * 2" pre-assembled PCB (uncased) "kit" (due to EMC
laws), and is expected to sell at somewhere around £15.00. Suitable
for mounting in the ceiling ducting etc.

It may also have a seperate Relay on its output which will be able to
switch any voltage you like, DC or AC via its contacts up to 5amps.
And it will respond to ON OFF only.

Any comments?


Regards Gary
