I found another source for the BSR X10 modules. K-mart sells Stanley Garage Door Openers that turn on modules when the garage door is operated. The marketing name for their system is LIGHTMAKER (tm). K-mart has been the only retail outlet I have seen in many years that carries a 3-way wall switch module. ($24.95) Stanley also is carrying a new "Power Timer"(tm) control center which is basically an alarm clock with built-in X10 controls, a redesigned control center, a mini-controller, and a mobile (rf) controller. On a side note: I wish BSR had gotten their stuff together when they designed the wall switch module. There is no local control over the dimming of the unit. How hard could it have been to have dimming if the button were held down and released when the proper light level was reached? Oh well, maybe in their next generation. -Jim Griggers NCR Corp. jdg@ncrcae

There is no local control over the I wish that there were a wall switch module that would control florescent lights. I'd like to be able to control my kitchen ceiling lights remotely, as well as, locally. I know about plug-in appliance modules, but does anyone know if there is a wire-in appliance module? -- Dave Turner 415/542-1299 {ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel,pyramid}!ptsfa!dmt
