Well this isn't a new product, but just a "heads-up" on a current existing product.

A friend of mine started his venture into X-10 and bought the Decorative Rocker-style wall switches thru X-10. Be forewarned that this inexpensive version ($19.99) is mainly for looks only.

It doesn't work by pressing the top of the rocker for ON and bottom of the rocker for OFF. Basically, it's just like the push-button wall switch -- a toggle switch. The bottom lever of the rocker extends out slight (spring loaded or something). You press the bottom lever to turn it on and press it again to turn it off.

He was kind of disappointed that it was like this, but he said he probably wouldn't spend the $40+ each for the better kinds.

Oh, and he is encountering phase jumping problems, but he has no empty breaker slots. Any suggestions on this? The Leviton 6299 requires 2 dedicated breakers (obviously on opposite legs).
