I had X10 in my old house, and have yet to install it here. It is GREAT. I had it hooked to the alarm system too. In the event of a Burglar alarm, it would flash the front and rear porch lights. In the event of a fire alarm, it would turn on and leave on ALL house lights.KBCraig wrote: Although I haven't yet installed this system, I'm a believer in X10 remotes. You can hit a bedside remote, and every exterior and interior light in the house will go on, except where you are. Anyone approaching you will be in bright light, while you're comfortably in the dark.

I had an "all on" button in the bedroom that I had set up just as you described.
