Been running it in my house for lighting since the late 80’s on but as many have mentioned it is very susceptible to power line interference. In my case it was APC surge/UPS plugged in but once I put them behind X10 filters (or a Tripp-lite IsoTel surge protector) it was reliable again even today. However I do run across odd chargers like the one for my Stihl battery weed whacker that will kill the X10 signals.
Still running a X10 CP290 controller with it’s serial interface communicating with my desktop PC and some software from the late 1990’s that can set events based on sunrise/sunset times giving the house a lived in look. Was handy when I was traveling for work in the past or now if I leave town for a few days.
