Heavy
appliances tend to hoover up the X10 signals. The following appliances all
cause
problems in my house.
1.
PC
2.
Oven
3.
Washing machine
I
know
Keith has a scientific explanation for this, but it has to do with the
design of
the power supplies. They have to be fitted with suppression to stop high
frequency noise from entering the mains wiring, and unfortunately those
frequencies coincide with X10 control signals. It may help if you add some
X10
filters between the mains wiring and suspect appliances - the way to test
is to
unplug everything, test X10 and then plug them back in one by one until it
fails. I seem to remember that Mike Huggins had a deal on his site that if
they
didn't solve the problem he would give you a refund.

Hi,
After moving the TW7223 closer to the consumer
unit, it made no improvement to my problems. Then i suspected my lynx-10
but
as that has been changed to comfort this can be ruled out.
I experience a total block that only
seems
to be evenings but can also work ok for days. My first suspect was the TV
but
switching this off seems to make no difference. I can't seem to see a
pattern
to suspect another particular appliance.
Is it possible to experiance any block from
outside the property. Should i now be looking at a whole house blocker
?
Any suggestions please.
Steve.
