That's odd. If the Squeezebox is not plugged into the wall at all, can you control the appliance module with the Extras manual control menu? It could be that the SB wall wart is "noisy". I have noise filters on four devices in my house to keep my Insteon gear working well -- all three UPSes, and the wall wart for an old baby monitor. Perhaps your SB wall wart is noisy and for some reason its affect on the x10 codes is worse when it's in the other room. This does sound quite odd; if the SB is nowhere near the appliance module or transceiver, it seems like it would be unlikely to hurt anything. And I don't see how having the SB wall wart near the appliance module could possibly help. How consistent are your results? > When they are both moved to the basement together, they also no longer > work. Are your basement outlets on the other side of the breaker box from the outlet where your transceiver is plugged in? Apparently many X10 users have trouble getting powerline X10 commands to cross from one side of the breaker box to the other, and there are "phase coupler" devices you can plug into a 220v/240v outlet (as for an electric clothes dryer) that are supposed to help with that. > What do I need to do in order to get this back working, as it needs to > reside in the basement.

I'd hope you could do something like put the transceiver on the main level on the same side of the breaker box as the basement outlet. Move it around as needed in order to reliably control the transceiver appliance module with the Extras menu. Then try controlling an appliance module in the basement. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69429 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
