apostolakisl Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 This was surprising to me. My city hookup is down by the street where I have the meter and 2 main panels which feed three subpanels in the house. I have a workshop/garage which is attached to the house by a breezeway and was powered from those subpanels in the main house. I wanted more power. So I decided the best way to handle this was to run a new yard line since fishing wires through the house was going to be a lot more work (I already had conduits in the ground). The distance is about 120 feet. So now the panels at the street feed 4 subpanels. Anyway, Insteon switches work just great out there even though the signal is going from the house, to the street and back out to the workshop. The devices I have out there are not dual band, so it is making the journey through a surprising length of wire.
stusviews Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Another one up for Insteon. The signal probably would not make it if depended entirely on RF like some other HA protocols
larryllix01 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Probably the signal is being repeated by the Insteon unit apostolakisl has on his RC lawnmower control system!! :)
