Andy,
I so wish X10 would listen
but….
I spoke to Mike Huggins about this ages ago and to Li recently and so far as I can
gather,
X10 want an order for, IIRC, 10,000 units before they will look at
it!
If my maths is any good that’s
at
least £300,000 worth of modules and, knowing manufacturers, they would all
have
to be exactly the same. Even between 400 members 10,000 modules is a hell
of a
lot of modules each, an average of 25 modules a member! I’m certainly
not
needing 25 modules costing me *at
least*
£750 right at the moment thanks ;-)
K.

preset
question (with Homeseer)
All this talk has me thinking - dangerous I know... Has
anyone tried to apply pressure
on the manufacturers to provide the types of modules we
want? As a group, could we
not help focus this market demand and communicate back
to
the people that matter?
If I could purchase units with things like status
response,
or lamp modules that had
LD11 type capabilities and status, I'd start to upgrade
rooms - more sales. I'm sure
others would do the same.
Can we get someone from the manufacturer on this alias
or at
least to read a requirements
document signed by 400
people?
