Re: X10 signal problems...

OK, last night I tried a few things. I turned on the fluorescent light
in the master bedroom, I was able to turn off the transformers. I then
turned on the 3 portable heaters 1 by 1 and the transformers turned off
every time! I don't think the Signalinc bridge will work because the
controller and modules are all on one phase, in fact they are all on
one circuit. I can't imagine the signal not being strong enough because
the controller (photocell) on the outside is about 2 feet from one of
the modules! Is it possible that the Leviton 6308 just simply isn't
sending the "off" command every morning? I called Leviton and spoke
with a tech guy and he said he uses the same photocell for his
landscape transformers. He had the same problem and bought a
Boosterlinc which resolved the issue, BUT Boosterlincs are about $100
and that's an expensive gamble! Is it possible the Leviton doesn't
output a strong enough signal? When it does send the "off" command it
does control a module upstairs on the other side of the house though,
so how could it be a weak signal? Any ideas?
