When I hold the smart plugs RJ11 in my hand with the clasp down the Red is on the left and the green on the right (of the two center pins). I used the end of the phone cord that did the same. My voltage is accurate from this perspective.
I just tried the other RJ11 on the cable that I cut in half and swapped the colors accordingly so the voltage is supplying the proper pins and same deal. So unless both RJ11's are fubar then there is something in that *BEEP* wire that is robbing my electrons! haha....
****it. I'm going to Best Buy and picking up the direct wire smart cable.

Ah! That is the problem then, you have to UNREVERSE it. It is not the same as a regular power plug where it does not matter what end is "hot". With these RD's it apparently does matter.
