[mdlug] Relay controller

[Duane Brown]

I LOVE the X10 modules. I bought a "starter kit" a few years ago and 
still use them (only at Christmas) got a couple lamp controls, remote 
control, software and other parts for like $20.

X10 was what I remember as the first spammer I encountered so I've 
always had mixed feelings about them but I do really like the stuff I've 
bought from them.

I have also encountered a guy/business at the Gibraltar Trade Centre 
south who may have what you are looking for.

Searching on Ebay, I found all the X10 parts for around $60.  But then I did some more searching and found several sellers that have just the relay boards.  The project I'm thinking of would probably be well suited for a dual relay board.
