Solves a common problem Dec 16, 2009 People familiar with the X-10 technology know that in the USA the 110v wiring is derived from a 220v input that is split. Often part of the house is wired to one leg and the rest of the house is wired to the other leg. The X-10 signal can't jump from one leg to another leg without the help of some capacitor or X-10 bridge.
Two sides of my living room are on different legs. Side 1 was on the controller leg and worked fine. Side 2 wouldn't work. I placed Compact Powerhouse X10 Plug-In RF Wireless Tranceiver Module TM751 into Side 1 of the living room and another one into Side 2. Now X-10 control modules work on both sides of the room with the X10 HR12A 16 Device Palm Pad Remote Control for X10 Receivers.
I call this a poor man's bridge. Real X-10 bridges cost 10 times as much.

Loud, Don't always work Oct 29, 2007
They work good enough for most applications, but don't work everywhere in the house all the time. X10 is known to not work in everyroom with every plug. You might find it doesn't work for plug far away from switch. Loud click noise during switch is not too classy.

Replacement revives system Aug 01, 2007 I have owned an x10 set for remote lamp operation for many years. Recently, the plug-in base was damaged and I ordered a new one from Home Automation. Delivery was quick. I am now controlling lights from anywhere in my home. Highly recommended.
