din modules
Where are DIN modules, such as the Marmitek AD10, FD10 and LD11 being used for? Do you need these modules for any specific purpose? Do you need any of these modules in a regular x10 house setup?

AD10 could be used to switch a whole group on or off in your "meterkast", or in places where you can build the din module out of sight.
FD10 is a phasecoupler and filter. When your house has more than one phase (a lot in NL), you need to couple these phases, otherwise a signal sent from one phase line will not reach the module on the other phase line. Example: CM15Pro which is on phase 1, will not be able to send a signal to a lamp module on phase 2. Phases are NOT the same as groups. You can have several groups on one phase for instance. Groups in one phase can be reached by each other. Furthermore, it filters noise from the lines, and stops x-10 signals from outside the house (you neighbours...) coming into the house and vice versa.
LD11 is the same as an AD10, but with dimming functions. If you have a whole group of lights that need to be switched / dimmed, etc....
