Re: X10 Signal Problems

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some X10 receivers lock up at times and thsi may even by why the RF
transceiver appeared to fail. . I would try switching off the power to
any plugin in lamp/appliance modules totally for about a minute and then
re -power them and see if that helps. You may already have done this
reading  your email - I'm not sure.  X10 inline  dimmers/relay switches
would need the power removing at the consumer unit ie by using the
breaker to interrupt the lighting circuit .
