Need advice on filters for Insteon (hardwired)

[David D]

I am battling some intermittent communication issues with Insteon and have identified a few signal suckers in my house using my Elk ESM1. I've got a few Insteon Filterlincs and an ACT AF120, but would like to use a hard-wired solution in an area or two. 

 

Does anyone have experience with the X-10Pro XPF here?: http://www.smarthome.com/x10-xpf-20a-3-wire-x10-noise-filter.html

 

The price is right, with the only downside being it's size.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

I use that filter for the circuit to our computer room. It is effective and it is big. BTW, any X10 filter will work for Insteon.

I use the XPNR, its smaller and easier to wire. Its been very effective. Its made by X10 pro, Smarthome doesn't have it, I got mine on amazon

It just occurred to me that the filter I listed might be more of a noise filter than a "signal sucker" filter?

If I have an appliance that is a signal sucker, wouldn't I need a pass through type of filter (i.e., signal blocking as opposed to noise suppressing?

 

EDIT: I went back and looked at the installation sheet and the XPF DOES go in-line like I need. I've placed my order!

 

Thanks!

A filter is both a signal stomper and signal sucker filter.
