We have made a comparison of the X10 signal strength when Comfort is used to transmit X10 signals through an XM10E and XM10U compared to a computer running Activehome connected to a CM12U X10 PC interface

The transmitters were placed in the same power point mains location while a marmitek PRU 256 Programmer and Logger was connected at various locations around the office to measure the received X10 signal strength

We found that the received signal from the XM10U and XM10E are about 20 to 40% weaker than that from the CM12U on average. This means that the performance of these X10 modules XM10E and XM10U may not as good as the CM12U, although we have tested only 1 item of each type.

Comfort sends digital signals to the XM10E and X1010U, and these devices are responsible for generating the X10 signals to the power line, so Comfort is not responsible for that signal strength.

Please take care when using Comfort to X10 communications You may need to use X10 boosters and filters.
