I like the idea of a *single* central controller. Syncing timers and such can be a bear. No fans if CO2 is on, no CO2 if lights are off, etc. You can do it all in one spot (though I got one to be used as a remote relay on the ModBus off a PLC that will be taking on a few home automation tasks)
I'm using a PLC and some x10 modules currently to control everything. And all on ethernet so I can access from the road via internet.

Okay, I'm not going to pretend I know what u are talking about 100% but I did some research on x10 controllers and Powerline Carriers and I think I have the general concept... that Programable relay that u linked to, can it handle 1000watt light? It says it's only rated for 500watts or do you just need an x10module that will handle it?
