Re: I need an out of the house remote

["Paul" <phwww@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I too junked all my X10 RF receivers for the WGLdesigns V572A years ago.
What a world of difference.
I have the V572A's antenna up near the peak of my attic.

The X10 motion sensor I spoke about is inside my garage (it is an "indoors"
model -- I don't know the difference between indoors/outdoor models).
I have not seen a problem with the motion sensor during extremes of
temperature.
But I live in Southern California and cold here means 50 degrees F.

Also all my X10 RF broadcast to the WGLdesigns V572A which I believe greatly
contributes to reliability (both RF reception and powerline transmission of
command).
In fact I use RF palmpads many places now I used to use wired X10
mini-controllers.

Only problem with the WGLdesigns V572A is it's not cheap.
