I had to do some gyrations in my house when I set them up.  My neighbor
has one of those intercoms (FM) that go through the house wiring, and
are using it as an baby monitor.  It interfered with my x-10 stuff since we
share a distribution transformer.  However, one side of the 220 was
better that the other.

Soultion: I swapped all of the important circuits in my house to the
better phase (the one his intercom ISN'T on), and it works pretty well.

However, I did buy some wall switch modules from Radio Shack that turned the
lights off quite well, but didn't turn them on (yes, I tried a wide
range of wattages).  I haven't gotten around to trading them in for new
units yet.  Any ideas from netland?
