I want to replace some light switches in my house with some of the x10
switches that dim and all that automation stuff. I know how to tell if
a light fixture's power is off - the light goes out! Outlets are easy
because I can plug a light in it. But what about the switch to the
light? I have meter, but I am not sure what to put it on to test the
power. Thank you for any help not getting me killed.

Hey Doug!
You shouldn't do stuff like this if you don't know how to test for power.
