A system and method for determining one of a plurality of power line phase conductors to which a remote device is electrically connected via a low voltage power line and transformer, and wherein each power line conductor carries a different phase of power is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting a different data beacon at a zero crossing of a voltage of the power of each of a plurality of power line phase conductors and storing in a memory information of the data beacon transmitted at the zero crossing of each phase conductor. At the remote device the method includes receiving a first data beacon, determining whether the first data beacon was received at a zero crossing of the voltage, and if the first data beacon was received at a zero crossing of the voltage, transmitting a phase notification that includes information of the first beacon and information identifying the remote device from the remote device. Finally, at a computer system, the method includes receiving the phase notification accessing the memory to determine a power line conductor to which the remote device is electrically connected.
