ESM1 meter.
I finally got around to running some tests. I used the PWM output of a

Really! That's the increase of electrical gadgets in consumer area I've

I have a leviton 6308 X10 photocell controlling 2 landscape lighting
transformers in my garage. Ever since this was installed, it has never
had a problem receiving the "on" command at dusk. About 2 days a week,
the lights won't turn off at dawn. At first, I thout it was the
