Re: Re: Debugging X10 problems

["Rob Iles" <rob.iles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andy,

What's reporting the activity?

if you can remove CM11/CM12 from the picture and still see what happens,
then that would be my next step.

If it still doesn't go away, then it'd be either a neighbours signal
intefering with your setup, or a faulty X10 device on your circuit that's
jabbering away......which would mean disconnecting them all, and adding
back
in one by one until you find it - - not fun :S

best of luck!
