RE: [mh] VERY basic HVAC control

Seems that you could connect the x10 universal module anywhere, no?

I just had the pleasure of replacing my furnace's flame sensor, and when I
was mucking with it, I noticed that the pilot piezo spark would keep
clicking away under certain test cases. I wouldn't want it doing that
unnecessarily for long periods of time, so you might want to ensure your
"off" mode is really *off*.

Regards,
Rick
