I'm a "newbie" or considering I'm an old retired "geezer", maybe an "oldbie".
I've had an X-10 system in my home for almost 20 years and it worked fine until I started replacing incandesent bulbs with fluorescent screw-in bulbs. My system uses a very old control unit called "The Timer" to control various exterior and interior lights. I've been told that my problems are all because of the fluorescent lights but I have some exterior fluorescents that are switching on & off every day just fine, as I programmed them. I also have a remote switch that I used inside but it no longer works at all (w/ new batteries). When I press "1" position on & off I can hear the relay click in the receiving unit pluged into a wall outlet.
Does any one have any comments or suggestions about how I can get my system working again? Thanks much.
Glenn
