Is there experience how X10 and Powerline (Ethernet over Power) devices work in a microgrid provided by Victron inverters? And if there is any undesired interference with e.g. Victron <-> 3rd party AC Inverter communication (phasing)?
asked
X10 and powerline compatibility/interference?
I would like to add, that I got fairly furious about the mandatory "topic requirement" when asking that question. "X10", "interference", "compatibility" ... everything I could think of was not accepted/unknown, but you are still required to enter something.
I believe that whoever designed this has not fully understood the concept of tags, topics and semantic clustering.
I have used several different Ethernet over Power devices with success on stand alone Victron systems. Usually to get the network connection from a router inside the house to a GX device in a distant shed.
All the usual limitations apply. In my experience they are very sensitive to interference when run through switch boards or sub-mains, or too many circuit breakers, or extension cords, or power boards. So when I wanted success, it was worth the effort to run as clean and direct line as possible, not just plug them in anywhere and hope for the best.
I have not used any X10 devices.
