Re: Problem with x-10 system that used to be stable

[Charles Sullivan <cwsulliv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're running ActiveHome, does the "Find Other Computers" show
a received X10 signal for the lights that are coming on?  If modules
are being turned on by random noise, there will usually NOT be a
valid X10 signal on the powerline.
