    Strange house codes?

    Using W800 (Registered) on HS 1.7

    Using X-10 palm pads, all HR12A

    Quite often when sending a command with a palm pad the HS log shows multiple "X10 Received" lines with different house codes. For example, if I send an I 10 On the log will show:

    X10 Received I10 (computer Work) I On
    Info ...
    X10 Received A10 (?) A On
    Info ...
    X10 Received I10 (computer Work) I On
    Info
    X10 Received G10 (?) G On
    Info
    X10 Received K10 (?) K On
    Info
    X10 Received I10 (computer Work) I On
    Info
    X10 Received K10 (?) K On
    Info
    X10 Received I10 (computer Work) I On
    Info
    X10 Received K10 (?) K On
    Info
    X10 Received A10 (?) A On
    Info
    X10 Received G10 (?) G On
    X10 Received K10 (?) K On
    X10 Received I10 (computer Work) I On
    X10 Received K10 (?) K On
    Etc

    All this over the period of a few seconds.

    All the same unit number, "10", and all command "On".

    BUT - three (3) house codes I didn't send, 'A', 'G', and 'K', plus the correct house code of "I".

    Luckily I don't have devices on A10, G10, or K10. Other times I have had devices on the house code and number that the system has incorrectly "received" and the other devices have been switched on or off incorrectly.

    Any ideas on what might be causing my problems and how I can correct them?

    I've configured mine to only listen for the house codes I'm using for RF. If there signals or noise on the other house codes, I'm ignoring it and not logging it.

    When I did my initial setup, I went a few days listening and logging all house codes, just to verify there were no other X10RF users in range.

      If you turn on very detailed logging we can see if the actual incoming RF data stream is getting corrupted. If this is the case then there are several possible sources/fixes.
