Retailers

Advanced Services, Inc. (X-10 dealer)
Home Automation Systems (HAS) are a mail order dealer in home automation equipment, especially X-10 devices and the like. You can order from them online (my experience was uneventful). They have a 'shopping cart' system, so it's relatively easy to order a number of items.
HomeTech Solutions Home Automation, Security, X10, Leviton, Audio/Video
HomeToys is a retailer who also publishes an online newsletter which contains reviews of home automation products. Worth checking out.
