Something Really Electrically Strange In Our Home

Warren,

Thank you for your ideas. I hope I do understand the basics of PLC (X10) and this current crop of problems I'm experiencing, I've never seen. 

Like missed scheduled events. Certain lights not coming on or off in a long string of simple commands. Lots of things not working requiring the quitting and re-launching of XTension, and occasionally, the rebooting of my Mini running XTension. Getting rid of the whole house filter and new GFI cleaned things up 90%, but now there is still not the stability I had.

I run my XTension through a headless Mini using screen sharing, and tonight I discovered I accidentally restarted my iMac instead of the Mini in a last ditch effort to straighten things out.

When I finally got my iMac back up, I discovered re-booting it straightened out the XTension problems running on the Mini! I didn't need to restart the Mini. This is craziness.

I just need brute force of time to watch for a pattern. I'm sure it's something I did, but in places, it's brought my system to it's knees, and the whole house filter thing has really got me stymied.

Thanks,

George
