Re[2]: solenoid valves driven by x10 appliance module problem

I have just had another thought about this. When the solenoid closes
will it not generate a back emf like a relay would; should I have a
reversed-biased diode across the solenoid terminals? Is it the back
emf that is upsetting the appliance module?

Thanks.
