While the components used were cheap, if it works one day but not the next, the culprit may be some new appliance added recently. The power line protocol isn't very robust, and inductive devices like motors really reduce the signal strength on the line. And often the signal doesn't transfer from one leg of the 220 split to the other. I gave up on X10 some years ago, but I haven't found a replacement.
