Title: Signal boost advice needed...
Post by: VinRin57 on December 28, 2018, 04:49:19 PM
I have a couple of Powerhouse mini controllers sitting idle and are needed. Problem: no matter which outlet I plug it in, it's just not powerful to trigger the outside lights. It is true I have 2 breaker panels in the basement, the WM100 plugged in right next to it, and a Leviton 2 phase coupler/blaster wired into the panel. BUT I am simply unable to get the signal from kitchen outlet to the basement. Lunching the app every time is ridiculous! Is there something I can do with the mini? Plug it in to something? Thoughts? Thanks! B:(

You need the XTB-IIR. It is simply THE best solution to solving X10 signal issues. Get one while you can as they are being discontinued. It is worth every penny!  http://jvde.us/xtb-iir.htm
