Did its job, but buzzed HORRIBLY, June 6, 2014

This review is from: Simply Automated ZPCI-P50A Universal Plug In Phase Coupler (Tools & Home Improvement)
This did do the job of coupling X10 across the phases of my home power lines.

But after one day, the unit began to buzz 60Hz noise horribly. At first I thought it was the dryer’s buzzer going off.

I returned one, and the manufacturer happily shipped me another, no questions asked (hence the second star).

But the second one did the same thing. These aren’t cheap, and I’m not amused. I don’t use it because the buzz is simply unbearable and I’m not sure I trust something that makes that much physical noise when not doing anything not to burn my house down.

Did not work for our home application, July 25, 2013
Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Simply Automated ZPCI-P50A Universal Plug In Phase Coupler (Tools & Home Improvement)
This item did not work for our home’s X10 application. We previously had a repeater/coupler on our dryer and all the X10 signals would go across the two legs of our home. We changed our dryer to a 4 prong and the old repeater/coupler could not be used anymore. We purchased this phase coupler for our range and it would not repeat the X10 signals across the two phases in our home. We ended up returning this unit and purchasing a 4 prong repeater/coupler again for our dryer. Now, our X10 signals are reliable again across the home. It may work for you, but didn’t for us.

Simply Automated is like the Apple of home automation. Their stuff just works., January 13, 2015
This review is from: Simply Automated ZPCI-P50A Universal Plug In Phase Coupler (Tools & Home Improvement)
You can’t beat just plugging something in and having it work. I already had some other Simply Automated "stuff", but wanted to set it up so I could push a button in my house and have the heater and lights in my Airstream (used as my home office) that’s on the other side of the garage come on. Makes it much nicer to go to work on a cold winter morning.

This stuff just works. I never even thought of looking at Amazon for it. I’ll definitely be buying more now that I can get it delivered for free in two days on my Prime account.
