I think your missing the key feature of these devices, UPB/X10. UPB and X10
are communication protocols that runs across the electrical wiring in the
home. The 1132 box can be programmed using a USB cable to your computer but
it doesn't have to remain connected via USB to control the lights and
outlets using X10. Additionally you only have to connect one PC-UPB/X10
controller to control the other UPB/X10 devices. You will have to install
more devices to make it all work but the commands come across the house
wiring.
