Prevent noisy electrical devices from polluting onto the power lines. 2. Prevent PLC/X10 signals from being absorbed into appliances. Electrical noise on the powerline generally includes spikes, clutter, waveform disturbances, and sags. Sometimes the noise will not affect the home automation system.

Start by turning off all the circuit breakers except one circuit for testing. Attach a transmitter and an appliance module (both known good units). Attach a radio to the appliance module and turn it up. If you are sending signals from one room to another on the same circuit, you will be able to hear the radio turn on and off.
