I have just the AHP and a CM15A and a Universal Module I can move from outlet to outlet for testing. The AHP/CM15A combo seems to be able to hit my universal module in almost any room in the house except my living room and family room. I initially attributed this to the circuits being on two different phases but then I purchased from SmartHome the passive cross-over device that plugs into my dryer's 3-prong 220vac power socket and still I am unable to control the universal module in those two rooms so I think now it must be signal strength issues. Indeed my CM15A (and computer) are in my upstairs bedroom - probably at the limit of one 110vac leg but that's kind of where I need the computer to be located.
I was wondering if you know of a wireless signal repeater option? What I wish I could find is a receiver that would pick up the wired or wireless commands from the CM15A connected to my computer and in turn send them (relay them) out over the power-line network. That way, I could have it on the other circuit and it would pick up the wireless commands from the CM15A and put them into the wired network into which it is plugged in. However, I'm guessing this does not exist as people spend so much time on phase couplers and couplers with repeaters which seem to have their own problems due to the extended codes. I have not as yet installed any kind of coupler at the breaker panel - just the passive one at the dryer. I guess I can do that next if I absolutely have to but I was trying to avoid that (hence the purchase of the passive coupler installed at the dryer). I solicit your comments on any of this that you could share as well. Thanks SO very much!
