I have a detached garage approximately 40 feet from my house. There are two circuits running out to it, both underground, 1 15amp 115v and 1 30amp 220v.
When I initially setup motion sensors out there using an RR501 everything was working fine, I could receive signals from the garage alerting me if someone was there that shouldn't be.
Now in the past few days I haven't received any signals from the garage. I just did some testing by moving the RR501 to various outlets in the garage and HomeSeer is not able to poll the device. If I take it to the attached garage then I'm able to poll it just fine.
What would be the best solution for this situation? I believe the RR501 just doesn't have enough gumption to transmit into the house, but the house does have enough to transmit to it, as I can sit out there with my notebook and turn the RR501 on/off via HomeSeer.
Right now I only have motion sensors out there but eventually I'll be monitoring the 3 garage doors for open/close status.
I should also mention, I do have a phase bridge installed behind my dryer, so I don't believe that's the problem. And I've also recently installed the V572 whole house transceiver, which has greatly improved my Montion sensors in the house.
thanks..
