Blog2014 ≫ Wowser is anyone still using X10

X10 is the old home automation signal-over-power protocol, I thought it was long dead but keene.co.uk 1 just announced a bluetooth to x10 converter 2. With this you can use yor modern phone to control your old home automation devices. They have a stack of new things including usb sockets here 3. Looks like they're reselling cheap ones, the same plastic one I just bought from somewhere else, not the original brushed steel version I got from screwfix that I can no longer get... Speaking of screwfix 4 that I can no longer get... Speaking of screwfix 4 they're kicking me off their affililate programme for not sending them any traffic, bah. I will stop linking to them then!
