Yes - I saw this all demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show yesterday
- Hills Industries are marketing a complete "home automation" package, but
the X10 stuff itself is available from Hills as well.

And, BTW, this was the ONLY decent working demonstration of ANYTHING at the
show - they actually had a dummy house built with the X10 gear, Linux-based
home controller, powered blinds, etc. all working.
