X10 is a confusing term - it's a protocol, and also the name of a
company.
The protocol itself isn't bad. I've been using the protocol for years
to automate my house, and although I had some initial problems, I got
through those very quickly.
Having said that, I wouldn't buy any products that use the X10 protocol
from the company called X10.
To the OP: Go lookaround over at smarthome.com. They have exactly what
you are looking for.
Once you find the product, google the product name, or even look on
ebay.
Smarthome has virtually everything you could ever think of, but their
prices are a bit steep. I can usually find the exact item, new in box,
for at least 20% less elsewhere.
Watch out for Smarthome, their stuff is a crapshoot. Some is great,
some is junk. If you get a bad piece you will have to sit on hold for
a half hour to get a return authorization. In my case, they sent me
back my defective part, just slapping a new label on the box I sent
them without even opening it. I got back my own note telling them what
was wrong!
