Does anyone know of an X-10 controller that connects to the Mac for programming, and then operates in a stand alone environment? I believe the product used to be called x-10 powerhouse, but am not exactly sure. I have not been able to find a source for this unit? Any hints? thanks please email responses if possible. -- =============== regards 'mark ============================================= Mark Ahlenius voice:(708)-632-5346 email: uunet!motcid!ahleniusm Motorola Inc. fax: (708)-632-2413 Arlington, Hts.

DAK in Chatsworth, CA sells it. J&R Music in New York City sells it. Radio Shack has X-10 stuff and maybe sells this. It's cheap. There is Mac software to download your timing settings into it, and the software is actually quite good, and it even runs on a color IIci. You can call X-10 USA at 800-526-0027 for more information and they can also send you a catalog of other X-10 products. Other X-10 stuff: 800-824-5003 Leviton Decora Electronic Controls 800-521-5262 Stanley Lightmaker 800-253-0570 Heath X-10 is nifty. --dave yost

(On GEnie, go XTEN.) As to a controller that you can program from the Mac, and then disconnect- I have one and it works fine. The only catch is that you have to use it with the modem port, but that most likely is no big deal ... -Ed -- Ed Edell via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!107!563.1!Ed.Edell INET: Ed.Edell@p1.f563.n107.z1.FIDONET.ORG
