normal in stead of momentary pulse switches

Is it possible to leave the normal switches in my house rather than exchance them for (spring loaded) pulse switches?
Is this also possibly for the switches used for the shutters to have.
What happens when I forget to unswitch for example the "up" switch attached to the shutter controller. Does it still react on a "DOWN" command over the power line when a "UP" signal is stil present on the wired input?

Note: my shutters do have end switches

Xanura switches has a kind of memory of the position of the switch. If some normal switches with SAIX12 behind them. If i turn the light on (lets say i have to press the switch to a down position) it will remember its position. If i then turn the lights off with software (by sending a X10 command to my Xanura device) the switch is still in the same position. Going back to turn the light on (again by hand) i must press the switch to the upper position. To turn the light off i need to press the switch to a down position. So the second time is the other way around.

Not a ideal situation but it works perfectly.

The S10 micro modules work with standard switches, operating the wall switch will toggle the module. If you use X10 to switch on the light, changing the wall switch will turn it off and vice versa.
