I'm looking for a pretty simple kit or separates. All I need is one wall plate dimmer switch and two wall plugs that can dim lamps. I saw a link someone posted to such a system that was about $50. I can't seem to find anything close to that price range.

I know Lutron makes nice ones.... not sure of the cost though.....

Are you looking via the internet so far.... or retail?

Internet so far.

I can tell you that Lutron is very expensive your looking to spend close to $60 per wall switch or more depending on if you want to dim your lights.

Nice.... that has more stuff in it than the link I remember seeing. Being X-10... I assume a Logitech should be able to control it?

yes it will but you need to get the RF to IR converter

i would go with the pyramid model it does more and is cheaper.

Intermatic z-wave works great with my 890. I use 3 lamp controllers (Lamp module Ha03c) and one dimmer switch (don't know the model sorry). No line of sight required with these.

Z-wave is more reliable than X-10, but also more expensive

Lutron at Home Depot for $40. Works great!
