What switch is this

X-10 used to have a face module that plugged into a base module that mounted
in place of a wall switch. This module had 4 buttons and 4 LED's that would
listen on the line and indicate if a module was on/off and of course control
that particular module also. As far as I remember it did not do any dimming
just monitored and controlled 4 modules. Does anyone recall the X-10 part
number for the base and face module...... TKS.

Leviton 16400 is what you're taking about. There are interchangeable
plates to let you configure the switch for 1,2,3 or 4 unit codes as well
as dim/bright and all on/off. The earlier model were the 16300 series
which looked the same but didn't work very well and prior to that the
6300 series. X10 Pro also has a version that they license from leviton
(even though X10 makes them for Leviton). Far superior to that product
is the Switchlinc Wall Controller which is both X10 and Insteon
compatible. Where the Leviton stuff is limited to one house code and 4
consecutive unit codes, the Switchlinc allows any button to be
programmed to any house and unit code and has the added benefit of being
able to act as a load controlling switch itself.

Greetings BruceR,
Could you give me the model number for the Switchlinc Wall Controller as I
don't seem to be able to locate it on the X-10 or Smarthome webpage. TKS...
