Author How to do fixed wiring of X10 power at 110V?

In Europe we have DIN rail X10 appliance modules which allow permanent
hard wiring using neat switches enclosed in circuit breaker boxes.

http://www.cyberselect.co.uk/product/477 for people who are interested.

Is there anything equivalent to those for 110V? I'd like to permanently
wire in appliances such as say a pool heater where leads terminated by
plugs seem inappropriate. I've seen the X10 wall outlet (model PAO11)
which does look more professional, but is there anything even more
suitable available for permanent wiring?

There are hardwired modules that fit into standard switchboxes. See the
Leviton line of Decora Home Control (X10) products at leviton.com or
www.worthdist.com.

Thanks Bruce. I just looked through the Decora catalogues and didn't spot
those. The closest I saw were some non-Decora products called Fixture
Relay Modules http://www.worthdist.com/Leviton/fixturemods.htm which do
not appear to be designed for box mounting. Is that what you had in
mind or do you have any part numbers or names I should be chasing?

For pool pumps and the like, the Leviton 6371 DPDT works well for 220v
circuits. For SPDT circuits us the 6291.
