I'm an X-10 novice and need to better understand if filtering is needed in my system. I have installed two Switchlink 3-way (master/slave) circuits and one wall module in a dedicated home theater. I'm controling via. IR with a Pronto TSU-3000 and an 543 IR/X-10 controller. For now, this is all the X-10 I want or need.

Here's my deal: at first, the switches would not respond to commands. Later, I unplugged my AV rig and one of the two worked. Then, I moved my controller to a different outlet and the lights worked, but the wall module didn't.

Think I may need filtering, but here are my questions:
1. What product would be appropriate for a fix?
2. Do I install a filter on my X-10 controller or on offending equipment (projector, AV rack)?
3. Do I need to be concerned only filtering in this room/circuit, or do I need to go around the house filtering TV's, computers and other possible culprits?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

1. Try this link [Link: homeautomationnet.com]

2. The filter would go on the offender

3. Anything in the house can cause these problems. The most common offenders seem to be tv's, av gear, power strips, and computers although there are others.

Go around you house and unplug any of these items and then try you system, you can then start to reconnect things and see what causes the most problems, sometimes a coupler/repeater will need to be installed in the circuit panel. If you search this forum you will find tons of info on the subject.
