So lets say you want to or 3 seperate outlets to controll 3 sets of lights (turning on/off at different times), you can't change them with this device. ;) But its a good basic controller.

That's a good point and I'm glad you brought that up. I hadn't thought about that. The ReefKeeper sounds similar in that it has it's own power strip and radio frequency to each outlet. That could limit the timing abilities for lighting. I'm thinking that would eat up about 3 of the outlets right there. I think I can get another power strip but more strips, more money.

Do the other controllers come with the X10 units or do you have to buy them separately? I've also seen people run some sort of sine wave cancellation device on their X10's is this helpful?
