About the same as just using a 50 cent capacitor across the two hot legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Which one would should you buy? Amplified?I'd like to order some of this X10 stuff but I'm as clueless as them come as to what you need besides a cm11a.For now I would just like to control three outdoor outlets.

JBullard Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Amplified!! Helps get a strong signal bridged across the two power line legs and overcome noise on the wiring in the house that is generated by refrigerators, freezers, small motors and switching power supplies in computers etc.EDIT:This is the one I've been using for the last 10 years or so. (The price has gone up some during that time !) But it WORKS solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
