📶 X10 TM751: Advanced Wireless Transceiver Module for Smarter Connectivity Review

Internal socket works but transceiver does not control remote modules no matter what combination of codes I set. The instructions for this new TM751 state that modules connected to circuits on the opposite side of phase may not work, but I don't recall having this problem with any of my older X-10 hardware. I installed all the replacement modules I bought into the same outlets I've been using with my old X-10 hardware since 1998 and they don't respond to commands. I guess it's time to ditch all

We use MS-16 wireless PIR motion detectors to control the outdoor lighting which is controlled by a wall switch. Since the sensor transmits RF (radio frequency) signals, you MUST have something to convert the RF signals to AC Line X-10 signals that control other X-10 devices. We use this for this purpose and it works great. This is a device type module that uses a relay to turn on and off whatever is connected to it. We don't use an outlet at all, just the X-10 signal it produces when it picks…

I finally got smart and bought a few of these transceiver modules instead of trying to get a bunch of companion lamps and mounting modules working reliably in our 130 year old house and its hodgepodge of decades of wiring to bring upgrades. "Slave" modules sometimes worked, sometimes not, for reasons I didn't understand. The transceiver modules are only slightly more expensive. The trade-off is that if you use them INSTEAD of lamp and fixture modules, the number of separate zones you can have…

As you know you have two 120 VAC lines from a 240 VAC transformer on a utility pole outside your home. If you only have the TM751 on one of the 120 VAC circuits, it may not be able to drive lamp modules on other 120 VAC circuits. The signal from the transceiver on circuit #1 must travel all the way to the transformer on the utility pole and then return on circuit #2. In my situation, the signal is too weak when making this drive, so the TM751 on my circuit #1 120 VAC is not driving the lamp…
