Try switching a working DIX1 with a not working and then program it again. Then you are sure it's not the quality of your powerline.

I try that, that works fine. With AMX en the ctx35 or the hcb I can controle then without any problem.

Hi Harmb,
Check this topic http://www.domoticaforum.eu/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=56
You probably have some glitches in the powerline, I have them to some of my outlets I just can't reach. Now I have a 3 phase powerline which is even worse. You could measure the quality of the X10 signal across your powerline.

So you have the AMX panel with the CTX15 included? Nice equipment!

I would suggest if you have a 3 phase powerline and a special FKX fase couplet (http://www.elekhomica.nl/product_info.p ... ucts_id=49) that should be enough to have good signals around the house without any great issues right? Or the EH-ARC3?

I have only 1 phase powerline. Its also strange that the cable lenght no longer is then 10m in the room where i have my problems. the problem exist from day one after installing at that time there where no electric equipment in my home i was rebuilding my home.

Again it's always possible that some outlets can not be reached with a strong enough signal. You can measure the signal strength with a Xanura PUX. This however is a expensive device. I know there are some other measuring devices but I don't know the exact details. I have some outlets as well that I can not reach. I'm know going to try to solve it with a XANURA XVS10, this is a modules which boost the signal to the required level throughout a complete phase.

I have a 3 phase powerline and had also some problems.
After installing the FKX ( http://www.elekhomica.nl/product_info.p ... cts_id=491 ) everything works fine for me.
