The End of X10
Home automation pioneer will no longer make powerline-based products for controlling lights, thermostats and other devices; closure has nothing to do with Black Hat hacking scandal.


The thing was ahead of its time when introduced, and behind the times, ever since :).

My bad... a day late on a post I made a few moments ago...

To consolidate and insure more laugh at the Big Bang Theory clip honoring X10 (linked in the article):

Apparently X10 is in receivership and will no longer be producing power line control components.

In case you skip the video link at the bottom of the linked article, I'll post it here to let "The Big Bang Theory" cast honor X10 properly...
