Essential Info

Having trouble getting INSTEON and X10 receivers in one area of your home to operate from transmitters in another area of your home? Solve the problem in seconds with the SignaLinc™ Plug-In Phase Coupler!

Because most homes have 2-phase 220V power that splits into two separate 110V legs, sometimes INSTEON/X10 signals have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other. But plug a SignaLinc™ into one of your home's 220V receptacles (like the one powering your electric dryer) and it will pass INSTEON/X10 signals between the two power lines in your home.

Unlike previous solutions, which could involve hiring an electrician to hardwire a signal bridge or jury-rigging a capacitor inside the breaker box, the SignaLinc™ can be installed just by plugging it in! Plus, with its built-in receptacle, you'll be able to do this without blocking other appliances from plugging into it.

What's Included

  • SignaLinc Plug-In Phase Coupler (for 3-Wire 220V Dryers)
  • Owner's Manual
  • More Info


    Note: The SignaLinc™ is a passive coupler and does not amplify the signal. This means the signal coupled onto the receiving phase will be no stronger than the original signal on the transmitting phase. How well the SignaLinc™ works in your home is dependent on many factors, including signal strength for the transmission phase. For homes larger than 3,000 sq. ft., we recommend installing an amplified coupler repeater, such as the 4826a.

    Safety Tested and Factory Certification
    All SignaLinc products are safety approved. The assembly line for Smarthome Design Products is ISO9001 certified. In order to meet the ISO 9001 standards, the entire factory underwent rigorous inspections of procedures and policies before being thoroughly audited. The certification received was based on its dedication to high quality management systems and strict adherence of quality systems and guidelines

    The SignaLinc for 3-wire dryers remain easily hidden behind the dryer (measures 3.13" wide, 4.31" high, 2.92" deep [4.34" deep with AC prongs]).

    MICHAEL BOWER -- north andover, MA   8/27/2003
    This is the way all X10 product should work... Plug it in and it works... No BSEE degree needed, no electrician, no setup, no problems!
    DAN -- west bloomfield, MI   8/18/2003
    Works *GREAT*. What a headache-saver!
    KENNETH -- jacksonville, FL   8/24/2003
    Wonderful - Finally took care of the bridge problem I had over the years and now all lights are controlable.
    KEVIN -- berkeley, CA   11/3/2011
    I thought that this would solve the problem that I was having with a particular light switch in the house, but it didn't. (The problem seems to be that the switch has no ground, and I solved it by installing an appliance switch, which doesn't use a ground, but does use both wires - hot and common.) Otherwise, there was no problem with the phase coupler.
    MERRILL -- hillsborough, CA   10/22/2011
    Order was received promptly and accurately. Excellent buying process.
    RAY -- purdys, NY   9/22/2011
    I'm still not certain whether this has had no effect at all or if it has actually made things worse. Before I plugged it in, signals were getting across phases only rarely. Now they never do.
    TIM -- grinnell, IA   8/12/2011
    Pluged it in and no more phase problems. Works great!!
    LARRY -- wilmington, DE   7/25/2011
    simple to install and fixed the problem.
    ALAN -- gainesville, GA   7/23/2011
    This combined with a insteon device on each phase close to the breaker box fixed my problem.
    STEPHEN -- rio linda, CA   7/16/2011
    No effect. I had to ad more transceivers on different circuits to fix my issues. Dryer is somewhat far from the breaker box though.
    JAMES -- jupiter, FL   7/11/2011
    I was very unhappy with the performance of my system until I added this Phase Coupler. It made all the difference.
    MICHAEL -- yorkville, IL   6/23/2011
    Perfect way to couple phases without having to do wiring changes. Just plug in and increase the reliability of the entire control network.
    JOHN -- hollywood, FL   5/12/2011
    Fixed problems with the X10 system on both phases. System now working better than before.
    ANDREW -- lexington, KY   4/25/2011
    It was super simple to install. It is not 100% accurate though. I still have trouble with getting modules on the opposite phase to work sometimes. All in all this was a good solution to my problem though. :)
    MARK A. -- port charlotte, FL   4/22/2011
    exactly as described fast shipping
    PAUL -- turlock, CA   3/19/2011
    Relatively quick delivery, but the phase coupler didn't solve my X10 problems. Not SmartHome's fault, just the typical instability and flakiness of X10...
    EUEL -- nichols, SC   3/10/2011
    Did not solve my problem!
    ALAN -- gahanna, OH   2/11/2011
    This coupler allows me to have control of my X-10 units again. The electric company installed a "Smart Meeter" which caused my X-10's not to work.
    JOHN J -- germantown, MD   2/10/2011
    Product works as described, shipped promptly.
    JOHN -- burke, VA   1/31/2011
    Thanks for the speedy service. I bought two of these units, one for my home and the other for my vacation cabin. I will dismantle the "bootleg capacitor coupling system" I was using at home. Since the vacation home is a recent purchase, the coupler arrived in time to enable me to avoid doing it the dangerous way.
