I'm afraid I've suffered equally frustrating problems. Moving the
controller
nearer the fusebox (ie minimising the runs to any receivers) helped a bit.

Things also seemed more reliable since I moved the transformers away from
the LD11s.

However, I've also decided it is essential to ensure each controlled light
device is switched by at least one hard wired control to the momentary
input
of the LD11s.

lighting, all energy saving bulbs, most of the low voltage lighting. I am
left with standard tungsten lights and maybe 16 12v low voltage recessed
lights (all on own switch mode trannis) and one standard strip light in the
utility room. I have tried many locations for the XM12u and have fitted an
x10 firewall/filter at the fuse box incoming.

right, as in "these things never work bla bla bla, why can't we have
normal
light switches like every one else, blaa blaa..." And that's the bit
that
really get's me.
