[Shop-talk] X-10 help

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, I remember a long time ago there were some people that had X-10 
knowledge, and since some of these devices are in my shop, it's shop 
related.  8>)

Here is the problem...

I have a few locations that don't seem to work all the time.  One is a 
light switch (I changed out the X-10 switch to ensure it wasn't a faulty 
unit.)  No matter how I address that unit, it doesn't work.  Even pressing 
on the button ON THE SWITCH, it doesn't turn on or off about 80% of the 
time.

then some times it works fine. 

When it doesn't work, I have used remotes, "all unit off" devices, and the 
button on the switch.  This leads me to believe that it has to do with the 
bulbs.  But I don't know how to troubleshoot this issue any further. 
Again, it works correctly about 20% of the time, so it's not a complete 
failure.

I do have a "cross over" unit in my circuit breaker box, but the switch on 
the device would rule out that as a problem.

Here is the switch type that I'm using...
