RE: General X10 Question.

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Because during the rewiring you have changed something, either cable length, cable route or an appliance and the signal is now attenuated to a level where it is too low for the Touchlinc to receive it.

 

It also works the other way, in that the signals originating from the Touchlinc will also be attenuated but may still be strong enough for the devices you are controlling to respond to.

 

Try DISCONNECTING, not just switching off, appliances in the surrounding area to find the culprit. When you do, try connecting it to a different socket to see it that helps. Also try relocating the TW7223 to a different socket, its easy to extend the low voltage cabling for that.

I can understand that Phil but why can I SEND but not RECEIVE? It seems really wierd. BTW this was possible before the kitchen was rewired...

Surrounding appliances can make a difference ... washing machines and dishwashers seem notorious for attenuating X10 signals.

 

I have four PCs and a pile of external HDs in my "computer room" (in all about 14 switched mode PSUs) and one half of that room is blind to X10.

I have a TouchLinc touchscreen in the kitchen which CAN X10 through the TW7223. It can't receive the 'Messages' which are basically X10 signals. If I plug it in beside the PC (where I download the software to it) then it can Recieve the messages. Why would it make a difference where it was situated to 'receive' messges only!!

 

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
