There are a couple of problem for some of us, with what you are attempting.
In the US our mains are 110 V, so we are generally unfamiliar with X-10 &
220 V. One resourse you might want to check is: [noparse][[/noparse] http://www.x10.com ] and
specifically the X-10 faq which may be found at; [noparse][[/noparse]
http://www.x10.com/support_x10faq.htm ] .
Another resource in Scandanavia which DOES discuss 220 V mains is High Tech
Horizons. Their website is [noparse][[/noparse] http://www.hth.com ] - which discusses their
"S.N.A.P." protocol.
Hope that gets you started.

Bruce Bates
