Has anyone used the x10 home automation/security system? How did you like it? Any problems?

    X10 is very susceptible to powerline noise, and there is a lot more today than 20 or 40 years ago mostly being introduced by the increased number of AC-DC power adapters/chargers that are used in most homes as well as solid-state devices using AC-DC transformers for their circuit boards.

    Despite that, I continue to reliably use a half-dozen or so X10 devices and a 25-year-old CM11A controller which are now integrated with my Home Assistant setup. Never worked with any alarm/security components.
