IS there an easy way of repeating a X10 command (on or off) say 5 times to ensure that the receiving units get the command?

Also can anyone offer a suggestion on this:
I have 2 buildings seperate from each other (about 75metres apart) but they are off totally seperate power feeds. There is a Cat6 cable between them. Is there anything in the market that will receive X10 signals and retransmit them over copper pairs and the opposite at the other end? I don't want to use wireless.
I have an Ocelot system in one building and want to control some appliances in the other building from the same system. I would also prefer not to use a slave Ocelot.

Thanks

If you mean repeating X10 commands being sent by an Ocelot, then the simplest way would be to just put several THEN statements:

IF (triggering action)
THEN X10 A/1 Turn ON
THEN X10 A/1 Turn ON
THEN X10 A/1 Turn ON

This way the extra commands will be queued up and sent one after the other.

For the two building question: I don't know of any X10 "repeater" that would work over wires. If you would be willing to have a slave Ocelot, then you could wire the bus across the Cat 5 cable and then set slave variables to make the slave transmit X10 under command of the master.
