Re: @#$%^& X10 hardware



A couple of thoughts for you Neil:

Since you see the first half of the message get through, power supply droop
in the transmitter combined with a lot of background noise is a possibility.

Another thing to consider is noise from compact fluorescent light bulbs.  I
have several generic CF bulbs whose noise drops into the X10 frequency band
near the zero crossing.  With multiple bulbs on the same circuit, the
signals beat together and almost look like X10 signals.  I have seen them
morph one X10 command into another.
