I appreciate everyone who responded to this question. Since you've been so
nice, I've decided to reward you with another question! :-)

Are there any CEBus devices on the market yet that provide the
functionality of the typical X-10 devices; for example, an incandescent
lamp switch/dimmer that can be controlled locally or over the house wiring?
If such devices are not yet available, what manufacturers should I
watch for to be early players in the CEBus game?

Thanks.
