I must have about 15 or so X10 modules, mostly from X10 Corp, Radio Shack
and Sears.  Mostly an assortment of lamp, appliance and wall switch replacement
units.  I did fork out about $50 for one of the Leviton wall switches that
allows one to dim the lights from the wall switch (unlike the X10 version).
Bought it at a local Leviton dealer.  That particular unit seems to be
put together a little better then the less expensive models and has a nice
touch plate.  I control this menagerie with a X-10 Powerhouse 'computer module'
that can be programmed from my PC and left alone to control the modules.
Very nice.  I purchased the 'computer module' and a menu driven s/w package
to program it from DAK for like $20-25!

One thing I was wondering, has anyone tried getting one of those remote control
Casablanca Fans to work with their X10 system?  Casablanca must be using some
sort of similiar system to control their fans.  Any ideas?  I've tried running
through all 256 base codes/addresses with commands that my 'computer module'
can send, but never a peep from my fan.
