iMeter Solo Owner’s Manual 

 

Further Enhancing Reliability  

As signals travel via the power line or RF throughout the home, they naturally become weaker the farther they travel. 
The best way to overcome weakened signals is to increase the coverage of the mesh network by introducing more 
INSTEON devices. 
It is possible that some audio-video devices, computers, power strips, or other electrical equipment may attenuate 
INSTEON signals on the power line. You can temporarily unplug suspected devices to test whether the INSTEON 
signal improves. If it does, then you can plug in filters that will permanently fix the problem.
