My  $ .02 - I have a large UPB setup and had 2 issues in the last 5+ years.  We all certainly hear to isolate issues rather than apply a fix to the whole environment,   I had 1 UPB module that did not respond and it happened over a sudden period of time.  Probably 1 week from no issues to no...

LED Light Bulbs Recalled by Lighting Science Group Due to Fire Hazard.   Had a funny "burning smell" that went away and months later saw this recall.  I found a few A19 bulbs and recessed LED's and thought I would pass this along.   Details on web site -...

Please pin to the correct area: Cloud Engines Recalls Pogoplug Video File Sharing Device Due to Fire Hazard. WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer...

I have been searching around and I am not getting a needed, complete method to get this to work. I have an analog modulator but I am not clear what I can do and what is compatable? Can this output be put on a "digital cable" - just not clear with the different signal types? I have a need to...

How can I have the M1 setup to utilize motion sensors around the home but not "always use their inputs" for violated zones. Let me explain- I want to use a motion sensor for activity for lighting and temperature controls when the M1 1) is armed stay and 2) unarmed but not use them 3) when...

TED update; Received my return credit for the 2 -200 AMP TED hardware & software except for $15 shipping. I did debug their whole environment with a PLC meter. :D If you have any question about TED - X10 - Homeseer post away, I think I can be of help :) IF and when they get a non-powerline...

yep, FYI I only had 1 MTU running the 2nd one for another panel was in the box. The result would have been 2X the powerline transmissions. Not a good X10 environment. S

The TED is " Xxad". :( It appears after running my X10 analyzer that the MTU transmissions are noise on the powerline PL, so X10 did not play well.... in fact the combination of a repeater (plug-in signal coupler-repeater - receives PL code & X10 and resends only X10) really mucked up the...

I have not seen posts that are that clear and in fact TED support has been real helpful in trying to get this envoronment to work. Your suggestion # 3) "3) set up an X-10 isolated powerfeed to run TED on so TED and X-10 don't interfere. " .... from what I have observed in that last 2 days also...

Yes, I agree I have X10 pretty stable but recently my new TED and legacy X10 are not working together. An isobar 6 , I am going to check mine. What did it do on the powerline? I saw an Intermatic Surge Protector (whole house) would this be the best configuration and get rid of local surge...

Thanks for the filter ideas, yes I am using a few but the refrigerator needs a 15 amp so that is in the works. I am try to see if X10 and TED can work together? I know and have lived with X10 and its design. Until I can replace everything with UPB which will take some time.... I want to have a...

Using the smarthome x10 meter to identify whats happening on powerline. :D I see BSC & BBK values of 85 122 147 119 repeating. On the docs they refer to Bad Start Code and Bad Block . Has anyone determined what this means in the X10 world? trying to understand how to get TED and X10 to work...

I have not made up my mind yet. Located a few devices that are X10 or powerline unfriendly. refrigerator less that 1 year old, PC power supply, and UPS. It seems that switched power devices are hardest to control their noise on the powerlines. I have good coupling at the panel and a link...

Got some tech support from TED company and tried to located the powerline transmission and path problems. I have a 220 dryer coupler from Smarthome and I put ACT filters on 2 PC's (I do have a working X10 setup that I am actually pleased with) but can not get RDU units "the receivers" to see...

well... I reviewed all the information and cautions and spoke to a good electrical / mechanical friend, and now I have the CT's installed in panel 1. Panel 2 is next. Yes ! The TED transmitting unit is sensitive to being on the same phase as the receiving unit. I have phase couplers 1...
