I look through the forums and couldnt find what I was looking for. I really want to get a logitech 1100 and make it control a RF light switch. If anyone can help with this I would really apperciate it!!!

Part number is WC-6021-WH

No universal remote can control your RF switch. You'll need an IR switch or IR gateway into your automation system if you want to use a universal remote. I personally use X10 switches and IR gateway which work fine with harmony. They are also much cheaper than Heath/Zenith. Z-wave RF works natively with some older harmony models like the 890, but not new models like the 1100. Lutron IR switches are also popular but they are expensive and require line of sight.

Can we use bluetooth device as input to X10 controller???

Wifi only unless you write your own interface or bridge BT to wifi somehow.

Could you give me exactly what I need to buy, like part numbers. Thanks!

Too many options. Check out the home automation forums for Lutron IR switches or X10. If you go the X10 route you need an IR543 (getting hard to find these days, so try X10.com) and a WS12A or similar depending on whether you need 2 or 3 way. I don't know the lutron numbers.
