How much kit???

Seriously, though, most setups I've seen with UPSs haven't had X-10 control of devices inside the UPS loop.

If you want things like a PC inside it to _control_ X-10, simply make sure the CM-12/whatever is on the normal mains.

If you want control of a device inside, then the normal recommendation is to use a relay, rather than bridge X-10 across.

Not what you wanted hear :-(

Hi all,

I have a small problem :-(

I am trying to fix a load of X10 kit to a friends house.
The house has 4 mains phases, well sort of. It has
the normal 3 phases and a UPS 'phase'.

I've linked the 4 lines together using FD10s but finding
that the signal isnt always making it round the house.

Having looked into the dedicated 3 phase repeaters
on letsautomate and laser they dont appear to allow
me to link two units together.

Does anyone out there have any ideas ? Please :-)

... and just for fun ... kit list so far is (ish) ;
60 x AW/LW11's  (Wall mounts)
40 x AD/LD10's    (Din Rails Mounts)
16 x SW10G's      (Shutter controllers)
6 x Universal Modules
10 x Axis Cameras
2 x CM11s
1 x Ocelot (24 inputs / 8 relays)
2 x Maxi controllers
5 x Mini Controllers
1 x 24 hour @ 3 x 60amp generator :)
1 x Fujitsu touch pad
3 x Wireless access points
and some X10 RF stuff that I'm really not impressed with :-(


Mark.
