Title: Couplers
Post by: Brandt on December 08, 2009, 06:25:05 PM

I've done some looking around, but i don't know the best most affordable coupler out there.

I'm pretty sure the house is 2-phase  and I was looking at the 3-pin plugin signalinc phase coupler repeater. Is this the way to go?

Does it pass x-10 and insteon?

I'd like both protocols repeated if possible...

None of the X10 Repeaters pass Insteon to the other phase.

I have a mix of X10 and Insteon.

My XTB-IIR does X10 and a pair of Insteon Access Points for Insteon.

Some of the passive X10 couplers will also pass the Insteon Signal to the other phase, but they have no amplifier stage to boot the signal before resending.
