Finally there is new product out there with better internals providing more reliable (sensitive) reception. Not perfect but better than it was. Take a look at Simply Automate's Domia Ten. The two channel wall switch is a bargin.
Dare I say it (I'm prepared to be flamed) X10, no, powerline communication has so much potential. I know there are alsorts or reasons why X10 fails but many lighting control systems only need a 9600 baud bus to realise massive systems eg: Rako, Dynalite. Electronics and encoding methods have changed so much since the development of X10, you can even run ethernet over the mains at respectible speeds!
Wireless has its place but cables are secure and reliable and every home has a set.
