I agree braisler. The X10 automation software is atrocious. I've seen vague references to some other automation software that will work on the X10 architecture, but haven't done much investigating about it yet. For now I'm ok with having remotes to handle all of my lighting.
BTW the socket rockets work fine, but their instructions aren't overly clear. You have to plug them in, then press the button you want to use to control them 3 times wtihin, I think, 1 minute. Then they'll set themselves to that code. I find it best to have any automation turned off when you're setting them up, as any other codes getting transmitted on the system will mess the socket rocket up.
