Re: Debugging X10 problems

["Bov" <bov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marcus, Craig, thanks for the feedback and ideas.

The whole of my node 0 is right next to the consumer unit so I should
be good there. I do have a whole load of gadgets connected to my
mains circuit so the idea of accumulated noise creeping over the
limit makes sense to me. So, I see a Sunday of unplugging coming
up... See if I can find the main culprits.

Cheers.
