Title: ActiveHome Pro - Lights not working (WS12A)
Post by: don on April 30, 2005, 07:33:16 PM

I just installed Active Home Pro
(v3.186) ... dunno what I am doing wrong.
Bought 4 WS12A Dimmer modules and installed
3.  Only 1 works with X10 (they all work
manually).  I've traded/switched modules,
changed codes and nothing seems to work.
Once i thought they were working and then I
did an all units off and then only my A4
setting worked (just 1 light).  I use A2
and A3 for the other two lights that are
not working ...
any ideas?

Sounds like you had a coupling problem.
You may want to install some kind of a
coupling device.

That's something X-10 doesn't make very clear
in their ads.  Most homes need a phase
coupler - even simple ones like:

-can make a considerable difference to signal
propagation throughout your house.
