Update Got it working 100ft line of sight 15w flourescent bulb in the barn widow. Now I can start the heater from the house if I remember to plug it in.


Does "it" refer to the SVAT unit? If so, have you used the unit in cold weather yet? I read a couple of reviews that said the SVAT did not perform correctly in cold weather for the reviewers.

yes The SVAT unit. Interesting remark about cold weather.
It seems to work better during the day than at night. I was wondering about that. Shorter dist seems to work better. If I step ot the door and walk 20 ft it works. But it was only $15.
I am still thinking about getting one of those units X 10 that works down the power line. Has to be on the same phase , transmitter and receiver I am told. might have to move a breaker around . But looks like it's $75 or so. 20 ft out the door is not so bad.

they used to have sales all the time for the firecracker starter set 15-25$ iirc. surge protectors will kill the signal. If your transmitter or reciever is near a good surge protector it will kill the x10 signal. I have all my computers/sterio equipment on 1 braker that is on the appliance side of the braker and every thing else on the other. some times a resister is needed to bridge the 2 sides of your breaker to get it to work on the whole house. in my case i specifically dont want that.
