Try  http://www.x10-beta.com/ActiveHome/   (CM11A)

There are lots of cool X-10 devices available.  Apparently the patent
expired.
I got a computer interface from Radio Shack for $30 that I highly
recommend (send and receive)  ( model CM11A)

Hiya,
This is Naresh from Singapore. I just like to know if anyone can help me

with sending X-10 signals on a 110\VAC line (or 220VAC line) to
interface with a PIC microcontroller. What I'd like to do is simply
switch on and off a pin, but it has to have a device identity (i.e. able

to distinguish upto 256 devices). Cheers! Naresh
