Re: X10 Project ideas? Was: Anyone tried these AEI wireless units,

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxx>]

My TM13 reception is about 10 to 15 m indoor (with good batteries in
the remote - goes down to 1 m if the batteries die off), makes it a
25 to 30 m radius which covers the whole house and a bit of the yard.
You could also put 2 units at the extremes on same house code to
extend range - there is an error checking in the protocol to avoid
data collision I believe , or go for some amplifiers.
