Steve writes "MSDN published an article by Tony Northrup on Using X10 hardware. It has a video tutorial. I hope they ave more of these in the future". The video shows me tackling two very common problems in my 1950’s era home. First, in my bedroom , I use two lamps to light the room. It’s annoying to have to walk across the room in the dark to turn them on, and then to reach across the bed to turn them off at night. I fixed this in about ten minutes with about $100 in X10 hardware. Link.
