thanks BLH very helpful info. Gonna order from X10

thanks just so I'm clear before ordering. the new AM466 will not have any flickering - i.e. I'm using this with a home theater - so I need that the light is fully off. also don't know if it make a difference - but I'm using a 48" fluorescent bulb ("shop light") not a CFL. Also is it worth it to...

I actually have an X10 AM466 and it definitely has a leak problem- light blinks when it should be off. Have they updated the AM466 recently as mine is probably 10 years old.

thanks - the problem is that I need to have the appliance module controlled by the Harmony Remote (to integrate into programmed macro activities) - so with z-wave the harmony would become the controller - which is fine - nut for the fact that it won't recognize the PIR - so the PIR cant be added...

I don't think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that they have an appliance module that will not have leakage causing he flourescent bulb to blink whn eit's supposed to be off (at least that's what I heard, and what happened when I used he appliance module that I had from them

Which technology and adapter would you recommend to control a 48" shop light florescent bulb (plugs into 3 prong outlet). I need something non z-wave that will work with my Harmony remote b/c I want to connect an independent motion detector to toggle the light as someone walks in/out of the...

yes I have one florescent shop light (just plugs into the wall outlet- so I'm using an appliance module for that) and the other is a big overhead florescent light- which there is what I think is called a "dead switch" or "terminal switch" or "ghost switch" - something like that where there only...

I have 2 lights in the room: one a florsecent shop light (where the Intermatic z-wave is hooked up to and the harmony macros control according to each scene. I don't think I can use an independent controller e.g if it tries to turn the light on when the harmony /intermaitic adapter has shut it...

Is there a different technology (other than Z-wave) which will do what I want and integrate well with the Harmony remote?

Will I still be able to use the Harmony remote- as that has activity macros controlling the HT equip as well. So I need both integrated. I heard that once a Harmony 890 is the controller over z-wave devices, other controllers (except another Harmony 890) cannot control these devices.

Hi: I'm very new to all this, but will try to be as accurate as possible. I currently have a Harmony 890 RF remote (which I'd like to keep, especially after I spent hours programming it :-) , however everything else is open (subject to cost): What I'd like to do/automate is 2 things: (1) have...
