Does i can increase a signal from my RF remote control ?

I use CM15A, does I can add another receiver in another room ?

I don't want use a repeater, and don't want modify a CM15A

Have you another suggestion

Have you read my thread Having X10 AHP Problems? Please Read This First!  (Read 7233 times)[/color]
There is a link there to help with the CM15As range which does not involve a mod!
Do some Advanced Searching and you'll find lots of helpful tips
You can add other transceivers but do some reading before you do!That way you'll know which one is best for you and how to set it up!

  However, why not try an additional transceiver. I run two..on the same house codes. One each on each 120v side of the powerline (the power company gives you two 120 volt lines, so together you can get 240 for stoves, clothesdryers, whole house AC, ect).

So, If I understood, I can install two TM751 and one CM15A to listen a same House code (A1 to A16) ?

For my Twin 120V, I moved two Breakers that I needing to control with X10 on same phase. So All run Fine with my Mini Controller (by wire) now.

But if I use 3 receivers on same code, does I will risk that my Macro functions twice (duplicate)  ?

With multiple transceivers on the same house code, you most likely will experience the ooccasional anomaly. (Signal collisions, etc.)

Here is what I did to overcome one area (circuit) of my house that I just couldn't get working reliably.
I installed a TM751 on that circuit, and everything on the circuit was set to a housecode not used anywhere else.
In AHP I wrote macros that would send RF Commands from the CM15A to the TM751.
Now I can use my remotes to trigger those macros from anywhere in the house to control the lights/fan on that circuit reliably.

(But I haven't given up on trying to find out what is going on with this circuit.)

Occasional?    With a (impolite) TM751??

I have been getting range in excess of 100 feet with the Slimfire remotes now that I am using the V572AB. Before installing the V572AB my range was less than 20 feet. I have yet to find an area within my house where either a motion sensor or a Slimfire will not work. Before the V572AB I had 5 transceiver modules located throughout the house just to get my motion sensors working. Now I have none.

I haven't heard of any projects to improve the Slimfire or Credit Card remotes, but I have seen projects on how to improve the reception of your transceiver which in turn will improve the range of the remotes.  Which transceiver are you using?

If you want really good reception, many people have had excellent results with a V572AB by WGL & Associates.  For more information about this see the thread MS14A RF range.

Using MACROs and a different HouseCode is a viable solution!   Probably incurs a slight delay (i.e. Relay Race - passing the baton).

OK... wrong choice of word.... "MANY"

Yes... now a couple of seconds for the light/fan to turn on/off.
Hence the "(But I haven't given up....)" statement.
