Ok i bought some X10 stuff last year for turning on gas pump, air meter, stop light, globes, light for salt pepper shakers, jukebox. Before i had to walk around and turn ever thing on... now i can walk it and grab the remote and turn it all on with remote. Globes i can dim with remote and shakers and even my lights for my movie posters. Pretty cool stuff. I just wanted to share what i bought and if anyone else has any of this. Here is where i bought my stuff. x10.com
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Very cool. I think I might try that when I finish my bonus room for my globes. This summer I set up an outlet where my pump is going that runs off of a light sensor. Right now, Im using it for my xmas lights. They turn on when it gets dark, and off when it gets light.

I have my lights on remotes also. I love it, I was really tired of climbing over and under stuff to light up my signs. Now I just push the old button on my desk and let their be light!!!

I have used their video camera motion sensor lights for years with the vcr recording keeping a sharp eye on my gas pumps.
I took the lights out of them and hung them outside so that when someone walks near my pumps it starts recording night or day with out them even knowing.
Best part is the buzzer that I have hooked to them too, so that at night if anyone walks near the pumps I know it before they even get to them.

Travis,
I haven't looked at any of the other stuff they sell. I know the remotes to turn everything on and off is killer!

John I remember you telling me about this at Peotone. It is a killer idea & would work out great. Travis that is a good idea with your pumps. I remember you telling me a while back that people would steal stuff just because they can. Now you have a way to monitor them & your pumps & if somthing does happen you have video proof. Another great idea thanks for sharing.

CLAP ON
CLAP CLAP OFF ! LOL
Remotes are better with dimmer built in. You can even make the lights dance with music from your speakers.
