Centralite LiteJet and TED

[3DogKnight]

I have a Centralite LiteJet http://www.centralite.com/ which is a lighting controller that allows me to create lighting scenes (for example several lights can be set at various dim levels to make up the scene.)

I recently purchased TED http://www.theenergydetective.com, and have discovered that it will not receive the powerline signal when I have selected certain scenes that have dimmed lights.

None of the lighting controller circuits are on the same circuit as the RDU or the CT breaker. However, since the LiteJet requires 6 circuits, it has 3 circuits on one phase, and 3 on the other, so obviously the RDU is on the same phase as some of the lights.

Is there a better way to install TED to keep the LiteJet dimmers from interfering with the powerline communication?

I've seen the same issue with other dimmers.
I wound up running a separate circuit just for the TED display and tying the TED transmitter directly to this leg.
Even with this there is still some interference.

I really can't believe they rely on such a low signal amplitude that almost anything defeats the signal.

How is your TED hooked up?
