I am currently using the cm11a with Activehome to control X10pro, Leviton, and PCS X10 devices. I am to the point where I have exceeded the capabilities of Activehome, especially with the PCS switches.

I searched this forum for past posts on the topic, and did a little research on my own. My requirements for a new controller are these:
1) Controls X10pro, Leviton, and PCS devices.
2) Can be run independent from a PC. (Once programmed)
3) Preset dim support for PCS switches.

That's really it. In looking at my options, the JDS Timecommander and Ocelot jump out as the top two contenders. I really do not need the IR control feature of the Ocelot (I'm not sure if I understand it or would use it)

The drawback of the ocelet seems to be the fact that it used the TW-523 as it's X10 interface, but I'm not sure that I will use extended X10 commands.

The drawback of the Timecommander is it's higher cost.

Based on my requirements, are there any suggestions as to which of the two is best? Or is there a third option I have missed?

All suggestions as welcome.
