best system X10 or???

[complexhair]

Hi...bit of a newbie here... want to include automation into my home... I am aware of x10 and what can be done. Is there another system that would be better.. maybe using wifi etc... I want to include lighting control and security specifically and don not want any majorly expensive solutions

Any help greatly appreciated

X10 is a good place to start. I you have the budget a hard wired system like CBus will be much better (but more expensive obviously). Look at...

http://www.cbus.com

An in-between option is Z-Wave which is slowly taking off. We need more UK units though. Check out the demo here...
