Please log in for more thread options in phase coupler which didn't help much. I have lights going off randomly, some lights unable to controlled etc. Is Insteon going to be much better? I was hoping that the RF was used to send signals,but as I understand it, the RF is used for phase coupling. That being the case, since I already have a coupler, can I expect much better with Insteon. | ||||

Seriously, though, the photo at: http://jeffvolp.home.att.net/x10_info/cfl_noise.jpg really shows how several CFL's operating in proximity can generate some very interesting noise patterns. I'm hoping my next trip to Home Depot to buy the bulbs Marc suggested will eliminate some of the issues I've experienced (flashing, line noise, signal sucking and unintended relighting). (Marc, if you're reading this, can you post the UPC codes of the CFL's you mentioned? It's been useful in helping locate stock they didn't know they had before.) http://jeffvolp.home.att.net/x10_info/x10_couplers.htm is remarkably thorough. Great diagram work, too, showing how the breakers are connected to the different phases I'd create a simple template for each page so that when you got to the bottom of one you could jump to another, but that's a minor gripe. http://jeffvolp.home.att.net/x10_info/x10_reliability.htm is one of the few pages missing a "return" at the bottom. Very impressive piece of work, Jeff. Now get to work completing: http://jeffvolp.home.att.net/x10_info/x10_collisions.htm (-: -- Bobby G. | ||||
