The repeater seems to help.

I seem to be getting better response from some of my LEDs on x10 switches. In front of the repeater, they switched on and off quickly many times before finally switching on or off.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in black only

The device works. Software is weak

This is a reliable device that controls X10 switches. The app has a mediocre and confusing user interface. If I could find an alternative to our X10 switches, I would use it.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Available in white only

Fixed an issue with random activation.

We had an issue with the X10 controlled deck fog system accidentally turning on. I thought it might be random noise on our AC line and it usually happens around 3-5am. Plug it in next to Mister's power outlet (opposite the inside wall to Mister's power supply). A month has passed while it works perfectly, no spontaneous inclusions.

Pros
  • GOLS Certification
Cons
  • Sad Equipment

Home run with good performance

I read all the reviews of others so I'm just another person to let others know about this product. I have noticed that the transmission accuracy of my X10 has changed over the years. This may be due to additional electrical equipment, weather conditions, changes in line voltage, or sunspots. Who knows, I could never find out. I recently discovered that by using an extension cord and plugging my SmartHome interface into various outlets outside of my office around the house, I've determined the…

Works great, not reliable

When this worked, signal range and command reliability varied significantly. Especially for receivers on a different phase. Many outlets that previously did not receive a signal will reliably receive a signal. I don't have a phase shifter. The LED only lights up when the signals are repeated. However, I bought used, and it failed (stopped repeating) after about a month. .but since they must be rock hard, I have mixed feelings. I'll buy a new/warranty one to try again, maybe no luck with a used…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Can I add something

Solves communication problems X10

X10 is the oldest and most original home control system and I am pleased that the company continues to innovate. This module solves many communication problems with x10 modules, power line interference and just plain bizarre home wiring. The X10 has a major advantage over high-tech controllers. You can set multiple devices to the same address to turn them on and off simultaneously with a single command. It's great until the noise gets in the way. Some didn't turn on or didn't turn on. This…

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • unreliable
