X-10 for lights


I’m using x10 for my lights on my 120g tank, sometimes it seems that it is getting to hot?
The lights turn on at different times just fine but after they been on the hole day the x10 sometimes doesn't like turning off.
For lights I have 2-250w MH and 2- 54w T5’s.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and the actinic lights are still on.


I switched over from 4 manual timers witch I kept bumping and getting them out of sync to the X-10 system because I could control them more.


I’m using the CM15A to run the setup.
All in all I have 5- SR227’s and 2-AM466’s is there anything you would change or add that will help me out?


Thanks for the Help

Terry

I've found X10 to be a little tricky, too. Sometimes the hardware just doesnt get the signal through the powerlines. You may want to try some of the filters, but I've had to switch out a few of the devices before.
