I've recently rebuilt my homeseer machine and, though I had hoped it would solve some communication problems with the RCS X10 thermostats, I have not seen improvement. I'm looking for suggestions from other users that have solved problems in their houses.
I have two RCS TXB16 units. They constantly misread signals and fail to report properly. In my breaker panel, I use the Leviton 2-phase X10 Amplified Coupler/Repeater. It seems to be able to communicate with all the lights in the house, though not as well as the old X10 coupler I had. I happen to own two of the Levitons, but I see no point in using both in the panel, unless I could tie them directly into the RCS circuit (possibility).
I'm looking for ways to either boost the signal out near the RCS receivers (they are on the same circuit) or other options. As it turns out, I happen to have extra communication wires (cat-5e and 16-4) run to the closet where the RCS receivers are. So if there is an inexpensive solution to changing those out with maybe the serial versions, that would work.
Again, any suggestions would be appreciated.
