And, then, does it really even Matter? I think if you were a really sinful person, after you passed away you might end up being forced to work with X10 in a really hot environment. I put my whole X10 menagerie on ebay hours after going to a VeraPlus. I put my VeraPlus on eBay hours after switching to Hubitat. My evolutionary path is: I put my whole X10 menagerie on ebay hours after going to a Wink. I put my Wink on eBay hours after switching to SmartThings. I put my SmartThings on eBay hours after switching to Hubitat.
I hope I am done evolving. Been using X10 since late 70s when it was BSR. Have my sq. At this time I have switched a few things over to Hubitat from Homevision. But after 6 months with the Hubitat I find that my Homevision is much more flexable, easier to program and more reliable. The main reason for switching to Hubitat is it doesn't need internet connectivity. I saw the question from the OP and thought, "Well, I've sure got a bunch of X stuff still laying around.
I did try to preserve my X10 with the Vera integration and after say 60 days of coding and modeling in LUA I said it wasn't worth it and started to buy Z-Wave switches and ZigBee sensors. For basic controls X was great. I had my mom's basement all setup for lighting from one switch location and it worked flawlessly. It was the expanded commands and buggy devices and the hopping of commands between legs of power for me that killed it.
I beg to differ. How about a Powerhorn remote siren randomly going off at decibels while it is screwed into an outlet, so you're scrambling to find the breaker to turn it off There are degrees of worse, WAF is at the top of the list, coding and maintaining the code is somewhere in the middle.
I sold mine about years ago - whenever Wink first came out. Sold all to a guy. Shipping ate up much of to price. Here is a similar one to what I sold as far as device count. I have some but not all of my X devices. I threw out most of my peripherals, when like jameslslate I started using Wink. I still have a couple PowerHorn sirens, several smoke detectors, and various other things in a box in my attic.
I had been running x for about the same length of time. It had a built it battery backed up RTC. No internet connection. The Ocelot was hard rock stable. Basically would go years without any hiccup. What drove me away was the lack of return communications from the modules. BYW the controller was stable but the X boxes were not.
