The CM11A is enabled in the Tools, CM11A Configuration tab?

When you are using the CM19A.
Is the TM751 being used to receive the RF commands from the CM19A in the same outlet where you are trying to use the CM11A?
If not try the same outlet where you are trying the CM11A.
You could have a power line signal issue.

Well i got the CM11a working for the most part. plugged it in the hd-tv/blu-ray outlet. go figure right? most of my modules are working have a couple areas where not reliable. turns on not off or dim.could be worn module or wiring issue?

It might be noise. When the light comes on, it might create enough noise that the module can't hear the "off" command. This is most common with CFL or LED bulbs. Incandescent bulbs *usually* don't have this issue.

Or, it could be a bad module. Does the same module exhibit the same issue elsewhere?

I noticed when i used my old CP290 the light module triggered fine. so i guess the switch module is fine and just a weak signal from the CM11a.

Could also indicate that you have noise, signal suckers or phase coupling problems and the higher output from the CP290 is strong enough to get to the modules. While the CM11A can't.

Just get yourself a flame thrower repeater (XTBIIR) for Christmas and go back to the CM15A. You'll be happy.

From a strength of powerline signal output, it is poor, but it has many advantages over the CM11A and CP290. However the XTBIIR repeater will dramatically take care of the low powerline output. $0.02.

where do i get a XTBIIR repeater? that will improve my signals thru the CM11A? i also noticed when i shoot a command thru AHP it seems to work better than when the interface is only connected.
