Hey guys, i started out with the cm15a plugged into the wall acting as the receiving unit for all remotes but when we expanded my house, i bought a transceiver to put on one side of the house. Well ever since, ive had nothing but problems. The range is great because the remotes work from every side of the house, however, when i try to dim lights, everything goes crazy, lights turn on and off and what not. BUt when i unplug the transceiver, everything works fine.
Whats going ON?

If the transceiver is the more common TM751; it is possible you have powerline collisions.
The TM751 is not polite and if both the CM15A and the TM751 receive the signals both could be sending the dim signals.
The CM15A is polite so if the TM751 was first. In theory it should wait for a clear powerline. When the powerline is clear and it sends; you could get a double dim.
Any repeaters in the mix? My Smarthome 4826B Dryer Outlet Repeater/Coupler does strange things with one of my TM751s and any X10 two way modules; like the AM14A or LM14A.

You can also replace the TM751 with a RR501, which is a polite transceiver.

Do you have the address of the other transceiver set in the AHP Hardware Configuration set as not to transceive?
It should be if it isn't!
