Just an update on the situation.  What I did was move the controller upstairs to where I knew it would be on a different side of the electrical panel (other phase).  As I suspected it started controlling the modules that had quit respopnding, and stopped controlling the modules that did respond.  This tell me that the signal coupler which I had been using had failed.(the 3 prong dryer type)  Rather than purchase another signal coupler, I will purchase another CM15A and program identically.  I believe this is the easiest and least expensive way to keep everything operating as it should.  Now if anyone has a way of bench testing the coupler I would be willing to try that and possible affect a repair.  I haven't opened it up yet but I doubt it's too complicated.  Even at that, I think that the two seperate CM15A will probably produce a better signal since neither phase will have to travel throughout the entire electrical system.

If it is the Smarthome three pin dryer outlet module.
There where two. Passive and active.
Is it the 4816B Signalinc Coupler or the 4826B Signalinc Coupler Repeater {has two Red and two Green LEDs on it}?

It seems the latest (small) build sold out quick, so my bet is on X10 planning another build soon.
