Are there versions of X10 controllers (appliance controllers communicating
over the mains) for 220-240v ac (Uk versions)? If not does anybody know
how they are implemented ? Custom IC(s) or Nat Semi's mains comms chip plus
some others. I have seen seen both data-link over mains and burglar alarm
control over mains, but both systems are two expensive to buy just to pull
apart.
