Re: [mh] What is the "best" x10 interface to use on Misterhouse?

[Joel D. <jr...@io...>]

I guess I've been lucky, but in more than 5 years I think I've only
had one problem with my CM11.  I've got a homemade passive coupler
in the dryer outlet about 10 feet from the CM11, which is plugged in
2 feet from the breaker box.

I'm sure I've just jinxed my whole system, and I'll get home tonight
and find all my lights flashing on and off randomly.
