When a moderator "sticks" this thread @ the top of this forum... Stickies don't go down when people don't reply to them... they're um, "stuck" to the top of the page... thus, "stickies".

Thanks scoBBie!!
Ok my friend, here's my situation...
For timers, I'm using X10 timers. (www.x10.com). These timers (primer, sorry if you know already), communicate through the electrical wiring of the house.

So, I've got my "controller" timer, which turns ON/OFF all the other ones by sending the signals INTO the electrical wiring. Fine, the timers per se do as the "controller" tells them.

Ok, my problem: My growroom has 2 circuit breakers. One is for 15A and the other for 20A. Why? I have no fucking clue... but half of the room is in one breaker and the other one on the other.
Because of these two circuits, when I plug a timer into the breaker that does NOT contain the "X10 controller", the timer doesn't always "receive" the ON/OFF signals. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

If I switch the timer back over to the circuit of the "controller", it works flawlessly.

So, I was wondering.... is there some kind of "bridge" I can do between circuits? Bridge over @ wall-socket area?

I don't know if this is plain stupid, but, can I plug one end of an electrical cable into the wall (15A) then plug another cable into the other side of the room (20A), and "bridge" those cords?

Ok, don't worry, I haven't done it and I won't until you say what to do... so I still haven't burned my house down... But, ideas?

I know the X10 industry sells "filters" and "boosters" and "repeaters", but I'm trying to ... you know... be a grower.

Thanks a million scoBBie, thanks :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
