X-10 is not a two way communications. The sender sends the signal to turn
on, but does not know if it actually turned on. Possibly you need a relay on
the pump to send a low voltage signal back to a LED in an appropriate
location to actually show what is happening.

OK - I understand. That would satisfy my needs.

I already have some remote X10 devices, so I guess I'm looking for a new
X10 compatible control device which has LEDs...anybody?

Don't know about x10, but Leviton's line of line carriers has an LED
which shows that the "on" signal has been sent. It doesn't however prove
that the receiver is functioning

I apologize if this is not the correct forum, but I have a question on
X10. Is it possible for an X10 "control box" to show (say, with an LED
maybe) whether a remote device is on/off?

I would like to control my water heater re-circulating pump (or garage
drive-way lights) - devices I cannot normally see from inside the house.

I'm sure someone will just say "switch it on/off - then you will know" -
but the notification on the re-circulating pump is useful to know
whether it has been on or off, because it takes a few minutes for the
water to get to the shower.

Will "Insteon" solve my problem? or anything else?

Thanks for any suggestions.
