I am looking for a switch that I can use to alert me through x-10 when it is
opened. I have seen switches that make a loud sound, but I would like for
it to trip an x10 light.
I have tried to use an eagle eye but it picks up too much motion, like a
rabbit running through the back yard.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jaxn

Hi Jaxn, What you need is a dry contact transmitter as in
http://www.smarthomepro.com/4220i.html

You just run a cable from the contacts to a remote switch that you need
to monitor. The transmitter will then transmit to the X10 unit of your
choice (a lamp module etc.)

Alternately, you could hack any of the RF transmitters and solder a
wire across the appropriate switch to transmit the light-on command to
an RF transciever.

Regards,

Anand Dhuru
