Some of the standard X10 appliance modules also don't have current sensing - although it's hard to tell which ones.
I'm not 100% sure why they put current sensing on the appliance modules as I...

Homevision is a home automation controller that let's you control your house via X10 using the tv/web browser/etc. It's a powerful piece of hardware and is a bit like a home automation program on...
