Vik That might not be your only problem, if the sparky can't understand it then who is going to COC it? Can I ask why the need to go to X-10? If I was going to look for lighting control systems on the cheap (sorry, low cost) I would probably start with DMX-512? Then all controls would be ELV and not need to be understood by the sparky....
What's the status of the power your planing to control, cause X-10 isn't immune to mains bourne noise created by computer PSU's, fridge, freezer and water pump motors. Anyway its your $, above all have fun and post some photos...... Me, I'd use LONworks but I'm biased....
