Just for the record, I wasn't the one who quoted this!Punch BlocksI dont know the theory on using solid for telephone....

I "think" that Caddx makes a relay output board that will work with their NX8 series and that has an X-10 output (using a powerline interface such as a TW523 or PSC05.Thanks for all the responses. This has been a very good learn. I am going to fumble my way through my home and then my apprentices home. I am sure I will be back for more. A quick question on the elk ez product and the caddx board. Is there a way to use a simple caddx board and turn lights on if there is a smoke or general alarm, ie is there any way to send x10 or upb signals with a generic security board or do you have to go to a Elk ez8 board?
Are the ademco or napco "cost effective" systems easier to program? If I just wanted to get low voltage smoke detectors working on a new board, what would be the least expensive way out. I have a friend who has an old security system and the smokes have to be replaced along with the board. What would be the best low cost choice if it was mainly for fire protection and no home automation?I "think" that Caddx makes a relay output board that will work with their NX8 series and that has an X-10 output (using a powerline interface such as a TW523 or PSC05.Thanks for all the responses.

But given the choice between the two, I would go with the Elk if nothing more than the ease of programming it (compared to the Caddx). (FYI, I've programmed a Caddx NX8e and an Elk M1-Gold)
