 That may be the article I wrote for II Alive (May/June 94).

  Which Apple II platform are you using?  The software I wrote,
  X10House/X10 Survival Kit, only works on the IIgs and requires
  the X-10 CP290 Computer Interface (as does most II software).

  I believe that X-10 Inc. has discontinued the CP290.  I had one on 
  backorder from one of the Home Control stores for six months 
  starting last July.  Radioshack.com had them on sale for $40
  about 2 months ago (search the site on catalog # 98-240;
  a search on CP290 didn't show it).  If you intend to use a CP290
  on the IIgs with my software,  buy the Mac version of the 
  CP290 so you get the correct serial cable.  X10House uses the
  IIgs serial ports only.  Most 8-bit X-10 software requires a Super
  Serial Card or a IIc serial port and won't run via the IIgs serial
  ports.

  An earlier post in this thread mentioned an FTP site that has 
  X10House, however, this is an earlier version of the demo and the 
  pricing and contact info are out of date.  The current price of
  X10House and the X10Survival Kit is $22 (including shipping) and  
  preferred contact is artcough@concentric.net. 

  You might check ground and caltech archives for Apple II X-10
  software (I haven't checked these urls in quite some time,
  so if they are out of date, someone please correct me).
