I have 4 - PLW01 light switches hooked up to 4 spotlights on the back of my house. Every once in awhile I will come home to see on of the lights lit up by themselves. I tred just about every house code and removed the TM51, (w/o TM51 it did get better, but now I can not use remote) no other X10's are on that house code.  I would also like the ability to control these from the remote but without the TM51 can not be done. Is there a better transceiver that will work more effeciently.
What else can I try to eliminate these problems before I give up on X-10?

there are many things youy can do!
The main thing is to read some of the posts here that have experianced the same issues doing a search will reveal them!

There is no straight forward magic fix you'll have to spend some time trouble shooting as many things can cause problems untill you have them sorted out!
Some things may help more than others like a Phase coupler or noise filters!

The following transceiver is IMHO  much better than anything X10 has to offer. It will transceive all house codes and has excellent range. I doubt that it will do anything to help with your random on problem.
