Hmmm, having serious issues here, any help welcome.

Situation:

We ran out of X10 Addresses. Everything was on House Code "F",
and we were
starting to use Addresses at 9,10 etc, which we could only control from the
8 in One remote, and couldn't automate.

So, decided the time had finally came, and split the house into
"E" and "F".
E= Lower Floor, F=Upper Floor.

A mini Timer in each room is used for control, with the same codes in each
room (roughly) so...

E1 is Audio in the Living Room, E2 is corner lamps
E5 is Audio in the Kitchen, E6 is under cupboard lights
F1 is the Bedroom Audio, F2 are Bedside lamps.

and so on..

Rapidly installing bits and finishing some DIY bits, I decided the time had
come to use the CM11, and Homeseer, and get it going for real.

Now, the problem I am seeing is this: The CM11 can just about manage to
push
a signal along two metres of mains cable, with a tailwind.

Other strangeness, the bedroom mini-timer didn't quite manage an all-units
off last night. it was "most" units off, with the furthest away
ones not
quite managing it..

Now, I have some  Filtered sockets for all my computer gear, but I have
made
sure the CM11 is straight into the wall.

What should I start checking?

Ian.
