Re: Debugging X10 problems

["Bov" <bov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, disconnected loads and tested stuff. Nothing made any difference,
but when I turned stuff back on it improved things...

But I did notice that I'm seeing status requests every second for one
of the house codes...

91 X-10 House/Func : J Status Request
85 Time: 21:48:28  Date: 07/20/08

91 X-10 House/Func : J Status Request
85 Time: 21:48:28  Date: 07/20/08

91 X-10 House/Func : J Status Request
85 Time: 21:48:29  Date: 07/20/08

Also seem to get a few random transmissions too for house codes I
don't have. I'm guessing these are getting in the way, so any
thoughts on what could be causing these? Is it the HomeVision?
