Not a question, but it is an information statement.

Yes it may help you do your job. Either in determining whether a certain product should be used, or in troubleshooting a problem. Previously in a prior discussion we had a small interaction on X10 reliability. Since then I have had an X10 relay plugged into a circuit with a TED-1000 system. With very low probability the TED-1000 signal has turned on the X10 relay. Is this a major problem? I don't know for the general public. For me it would be, and there seems to be a number of TED users that also have X10 units that have expressed concerns about these interactions at the TED Forum.
An understanding of how products work that you install or service can help you troubleshoot problems.
A while back one forum member had installed IR light controls for a driveway. The operation of the IR control was the problem. I can not find this thread at the present, but the problem boiled down to having an understanding of how the particular IR units worked. The original installed IR units had a solid-state relay/dimmer (at times) that caused the problem. Using IR units with an electro-mechanical relay output solved the problem.
In my search this thread came up ---
