And, by the way, it is NOT unusual for a controlled device to receive an ON
command reliably and not receive an OFF command. This doesnt mean it isn't
sending the command. This puzzles most folks, since it would seem to reason
that if one type of command is received, all will be. The reason this isn't
the case has to do with the type of line carrier signal sent by each
command. For more information on X-10 waveform protocol, and to get at least
a vague idea about what I'm talking about that will help you understand why
amplification is the solution to your problem, try
http://www.x10pro.com/pro/pdf/technote.pdf or Google "X-10 protocol" and
read up on the technology. Then you can buy an Amplifier/Coupler and solve
your problem.
