Title: anybody with TED 5000 & X10 experiences
Post by: pondo on June 26, 2011, 03:41:04 PM

If you have both an extensive X10 Active Home Pro, CM15A controlled home automation and also have a TED 5000G or C system working in the same household  would you please tell me how the two systems are working together and what special steps for filtering or isolatating the TED 5000-MTU and Gateway that you have done.

Thanks, I'm on the verge of buying a TED 500-G and I have a large  home automation X10 Active Home Pro and CM15A controller, but I don't want to buy more incompabilities.

Thanks in advance.

Since the MTU is sending data on the power lines at the AC Zero Crossing, every few seconds at 132KHz. It sometimes can interfere with X10 modules using 120KHz timed to the AC Zero Crossing and definitely if you where doing Insteon at 131.65KHz.

Many have used a filtered {X10Pro XPF 20 Amp Wired In Filter} branch circuit. For the TED5000 devices alone. Isolating it from the rest of the home and its automated devices.

You may want to try our Search Function. For keywords like TED or maybe TED5000. I believe there are a few threads here.
