Bad experience

X10 Wireless Technology - Bad experience
I have to copy some of the text of the customer PissedConsumer311**** because I had the same bad experience: The new module did not work... I am pissed off about all the time I wasted trying to resolve the problem. X-10 Customer support or lack thereof is typical of American businesses today: Buy our products but for God's sake DO NOT bother us

Pros:
  • No really pros because the technology
Cons:
  • Not working reliable

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: dont buy! Look for a different supplier and a different technic (X10 is using the cables in your house and this always create trouble)

Have loved the X-10 remote light controllers and receiver for years and loved them but one went bad, ordered and received a new? wall switch module.

The new module did not work.... the lights flashed on and off continuously. Disconnected and installed a regular wall dimmer switch and they worked fine again. Tried to call X-10 but every number I tried was a waste of time, number disconnected, not working, etc. Even the number for them on my credit card statement was a disconnected number. I am pissed off about all the time I wasted trying to resolve this problem. X-10 Customer support or lack thereof is typical of American businesses today: Buy our products but for God's sake DO NOT bother us with phone calls... we have set up walls to block your efforts.

X-10 has very poor communication options to reach them to find a resolution to my having received a defective unit.

I just received your palm held remote control. It does not work. The red light does not light up and it doesn't work when you try to use it

Wireless security cameras

bought two units, first one couldn't work on my home wi-fi, tried the second one and got it to work on my home wifi but when I tried logging on from a remote location it wouldn't work, that defeated the purpose of buying the product. The instructions are very poorly done and the unit didn't work as advertised, ie: the motion sensor was supposed to turn the camera on and rotate to the spot (I thought that's how it was to work). There are other problems but I'll keep it short just don't buy this ***. Returned them had to pay shipping and 15% restocking fee.
