Help with X-10 problem

["frickeltech" <jan@xxxxxxx>]

I have not posted before so I apologise if I drop any clangers. I
have fitted so far;

Home cinema,

Distributed sky,

Centralised audio/video for 3 rooms with 200 disc CD/DVD duke box,

All but 2 or 3 lights are on x10,

Home vision controller,

Home vision expansion board,

6 zone temp monitoring,

1 zone heating control (kitchen),

3 zone IR distribution,

Everything works fine with pronto / IR, The 8 MS13 work lovely,
including the 4 other 433 MHz controllers.

But I am really struggling with the XM12u interface for home vision.

I can turn most things on but if more than say half the down stairs
lights are on then things stop working.

It does effect the 433Mhz controlers but not as bad.

So far I have striped out all the mini fluorescents under unit
kitchen 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.

I am at my wits end not to mention it is starting to prove my wife
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.

help..
