Title: WS469 Switch
Post by: JBL11554 on September 12, 2019, 03:50:30 PM

I just replaced a WS467 with a newer WS469 switch.  I can turn it on/off via the Wifi app.  I can turn it off via the remotes and AHP module but, I cannot turn it on.  Any ideas?

What did you define the WS469 in AHP?

Try a WS13A or XPS3 or XPS4 [don't think it is AHP]. They are relay type switches. If it is still a WS467 dimmer type. It is possible AHP is sending an Extended X10 command and not understood by the WS469.

It is not a dimmer type switch. I tried making it a dimmer type and relay type.  Neither one worked to turn it on  It is used for every type light source. X10 recommended it for this application.  WS469 Push Button Relay Wall Switch.

The WS13A and XPS3 are relay type On-Off relay style switches and are not dimmers. Just like the new WS469. AHP was last updated well before the WS469 was ever designed. So the closest match is the two decorator type relay style switches AHP knows about.

If picking a relay type switch in AHP does not work. Then we may need to find the underlying issue.

Thanks. Apparently the AHP can turn it off but not on. Another good reason for me to retire the AHP and stick with the wifi version. In fact, the only reason I still use the AHP is I have two of the remotes and one rf switch. Thanks again.

The ability to turn a module off but not on is a sign the module isn't  configured in AHP as old non soft start light. Ahp sends extended code to modules assigned as light. Another thing that points to this as being the issue is the WiFi module doesn't send extended code and can't.  >!

As a test, redefine the switch as an Appliance Module.

RESOLVED.  I changed the address of the WS469 to the same as the transceiver module (RF) and that solved the whole issue.  Now I can control the WS469 via the wifi app and the older AHP remote control.

Only bad point is "ALL LIGHTS ON" will not turn this light on.
