Title: AM486 does much noise
Post by: marineau on October 13, 2006, 06:25:59 AM
Module AM486 does much noise. Is there another model (Appliance Module) which would be quiet and which would enable me to make function a halogen lamp  ?

Some of Smarthome's appliance modules are claimed to be much quieter, but they still contain a relay and are not totally silent.

Yes the Smarthome ones are quieter. Though the I have seen the Insteon ones be very cranky with some loads.
