Re: Re: Debugging X10 problems

Hi Andy

I use some x10 plugin modules with Homevision and when i had some issues i
bought an ELK ESM1 from Automated outlet in the states ...I had to get a
240v plugpak for it but it works fine...

I also installed one of Jeff Volp,s XTB11 units to boost the x10 signal and
this has helped a lot...
