Ok, I have a pronto 3000 on the way, i was plannin on ordering the module to allow the pronto to control X10 but I ran into a problem. I live in an appt, in a fairly old house. Most of my lights are flourescent lights, and when I took off the wall plate to the switch there are no neutral wire run to the switches. Which is needed (from my understanding). All I really NEED to control is a incandescent lamp, and a flourescent overhead light. I would really like it to control the flourescent lights in other rooms, but at this point i feel kinda limited.
My questions are:
What CAN i use in my particular situation.
I've been looking at stuff that uses RF, but cannot find a module that will allow me to use the IR functions on the pronto.

Let me know any suggestions you may have

For IR to RF conversion, search this and the Pronto Forum for IR543 and you'll get plenty o hits.

Lyndel, the IR543 converst IR to X10. There is no RF involved.

Supposedly, there are some models by Lutron that can be IR controlled.

Spacer, Spacer System (supports scenes where the standalone does not), Grafix Eye, and Maestro?? I think. And RadioRa which you can get an IR interface for.
