Title: Cant get X10 working on other circuits
Post by: bedo2405 on July 13, 2011, 09:28:58 PM

X10 works find on the circuit where my CM15Pro is but there are other parts of the house that just can't be reached. From what I understand I have only a single phase split into 4 circuits, 2 power outlet circuits, and 2 light circuits. So what is the best solution for this issue?

CM15Pro, so we are talking 240 volt 50 cycle power?
Can you provide a little more detail on you location?

Sounds like you may have a signal probelm on the power lines.
Maybe a noise maker or a signal absorber.
There are some good troubleshooting tips here. Some are geared toward the spit single phase we have here in the US, but the basic concepts on noise and signal suckers still applies.
