Bob,

I had the same problem with non-techo types (the wife) not being able
or willing to use the X-10 things.

The situation has gotten MUCH better since I got the X-10 wireless
remote. (actually two with three controllers)

They are easy to use. One key stroke on/off two key stroke on dim/bright.
They are portable, so you can leave several controllers around the house.

My only complaint - they DO tend to eat batteries pretty quickly.
(weak batteries => poor control response)

Give one of these a try. (get several transmitters even if you only get
one receiver)
