Easiest way to control low-voltage solenoid valves (6/12/24V) from X10
is to plug a small stepdown transformer into an X10 appliance module.
What is needed is a small plug-in transformer (similar to those
abandoned by the phone company when incandescent-lit phones get phased
out) or purchasable from various parts stores.  It's simple and safe.
