UM7206 alternative

Post by **TANE** » Tue May 20, 2008 10:27 pm

I'm using the UM7206 for locking my front door.
Sometimes the x10 signal will not arrive.
CTX35 and UM7206 are in the same power outlet.

what can be the problem or are the better alternatives?

Have you considered the fact that the signal may be too strong?

What happens when you temporarily put an extension cord between the power-outlet and the unit? (Let's say 10 meters or so?).

Als het niet gerepareerd kan worden dan is het niet kapot!

thanks for the tip
Problem is this happens once per month or so..testing is a bit difficult.
I was hoping there are two way controllers or some kind of I/O port what can do the same.

On the axis 241q i do know i have some contacts which i can use. I think thats more reliable then the x10.. also know that this is a normal x10, not xanura. So if you would choose a xanura one instead of this one it could be better. (but more expensive)

There is one with a potential input or something like that, which you could use i think. bwired should know

PIOX15..not sure if this will work..
I need short puls like pressing a key for activating another remote.

De PIOX15 Sure is possible but you need to add the relais yourself.
The PIOX15 has standard no relais like the UM7206

Pieter,
thanks for the info.
I'm first going the check the possibilities of device servers with I/O.
