Lightwave RF is a one way interface ie no status possibleThe advantage is that it is quitte inexpensive
There is an interface from Comfort to Lightwave using Universal UCM + ETH03see http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=3066&forum_id=94
The registrartion code changes quite often which is very iritating because we need to fdoind the new code to conect from the UCM
A better alternative for wireless may be ZwaveThe UCM/Zwave is a two way interface and many manufacturers make Zwave
However it is recommended to stick to the normal appliance and lighting modules (which are similar to X10 anyway)
Some of the more complex modules like Fibaros Universal Sensors are problematic. They have not been certified and they seem to work wel only with their own controller. Also the software like HC2 seems not welll supported by the manufacturer if you see the forums
Stick to simple Zwave controllers and modules as X10 replacements is my advice
Also avoid ACT as they are manufacrured using the old libraries which have compatibility problems
