Every so ofen, I get strange actions out of MH with x10 modules. It almost
always boils down to someone in the immediate area getting some sort of
x10 setup, either RF or wired, and my x10 setup picking it up, and doing
something unexpected. For the last week, on my vacation, my bedroom light
has been turning on at 5:30 AM and turning off at about 7:00AM. Annoying,
as I usually don't get up until 7:00, AND I'm on vacation! Seems like my
new neighbors (renters) have this cool 'wireless' timer for their
CHristmas lights... guess what? I can turn them on and off too with my
bedroom light!  Sheesh...
