• Confirmed\Learned the following
  • Power line in the server closet is not the same circuit as the rest of the "office" Omegix 12:43, 12 February 2010 (CST)
  • Power line in the server closet is not on the same circuit as the power rails on the Main Room walls Omegix 12:43, 12 February 2010 (CST)
• Wall Module advertised as supporting flourescent bulbs was not able to supply enough power to the ballasts to get the lights running. Need to research as to why. Could be a bad X10 module. Omegix 12:43, 12 February 2010 (CST)

  • Upon initial inspection, only two wires seemed to be present in the light switch box. The unit requires a Neutral connection to work. It's possible this wire is attached to the casing of the box. It's also possible due to the age of the building that the neutral line was never run.
