Anybody using X10 ActiveHome?

[pedromatic]

I'd like to know if anyone out there is using X10 ActiveHome controller for their timers, lights, etc. I was thinking about it and would like some feedback if anyone has used it.

x10 can be flaky at times, and susceptible to line noise, so not too many people want to rely on them for tank systems. There is one major controller that uses X10 technology for some of their switches, but they also offer hard wired options.

I use X10 modules in a few spots around the house for lamps that I want to control by remote, but I wouldn't trust my tank to them.

X10 is great for the lazy man's lights in the theater room. I would not put my tank on them. Would not even consider it.

x 10 is very old techno. Get a aqua jr the full set up you can get on sale for under 200.

Wow, thanks. Aqua Jr. sounds like the way to go. I'll check around for prices. Here's a link to the manufacturer.

I recently placed an order for a ReefKeeper 2 from Digital Aquatics. It sounded really nice and I can't wait for it to arrive.
