Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but you can currently get a free (well 10us for shipping) x-10 home automation kit... Very usefull for controlling lights etc.

The site hit me with 4 pop-up ads when I tried to close the window.

I think pop-up sites should be outlawed.

Sweet. Ordered mine too. :biggrin:

[Gujustud]

sweet! always wanted one. Can't go wrong for $10 bucks!

It says at the bottom that the free stuff is for US residents only..

Too bad tho.. I wouldn't mind getting it as well..

[spikehs]

nope, its for Canadians as well... I ordered it, only charged my card 10 bucks.

[LostMind]

All it is saying at the bottom is that the free shipping is for US residents only. We can still get the free firecracker thing, it costs $10.70 ($10 and GST).

HTH

Makes sense, however I think we can still order it.

I put my order thru, but didn't have my CC on me (know the number by heart) however, I didn't know the 3 numbers on the back, so I just made it up. I got a email from them saying they couldn't process it, so to call them, which I did, and gave them the correct number. The guy confirmed all the details with me, and said they would ship it on monday.

Well, doesn't hurt to try then right? I mean they cannot take my money if they don't send it.

Anyone have an idea what kind of duty etc we might have to pay for this?

Yes, they acccept Canadian orders. if you add it to the cart it asks you to select canada or U.S. Canadian addresses pay 10.00 shipping vs alower price for U.S.

Anybody know if they ship it by post or UPS

Has anyone gotten this thing to work? I tried plugging in the Transceiver module, and then attaching just a regular light to it and hit the on/off button and nothing happens... Anyone have a similar experience?

Mine worked perfect. Download a program called Foreworx from http://www.triplewhitefox.com/tech/fireworx.htm It works great and is free.
