My favorite would have been the SmartHome ToggleLinc except the life span was too short.  They made those switches for a very short time with a near OG X10 price point (around $15/ea).  I bought a couple to try and realized they were great!  But, by the time I had time to test them, the price had shot up to $45 (when on sale) while the standard WS467 was still around $5.  I wish I could have bought a bunch of those original ToggleLinc (and RelayLinc) switches and replaced everything X10 for my switch use!

I have to say I really love the in-wall light switches with soft start.  I have at least 20 of them installed in my home.  Nice to be in bed and tell Alexa to turn off the bedroom lights in 15minutes.

An old favorite was I think the PR511 floodlight with motion sensor / 8 code transmitter.  Was great to have for security - mounted on garage, would fire the local floods and turn on both front and back porchlights on the house.  Used the photocell channels to turn on lights inside the house.  It was too bad they did not make them out of UV resistant plastic. 

I suspect that this may have been a more far reaching issue with AWS as my iAqualink Jandy pool controller had the same issue starting and ending at about the same time.

Hang in there, lots of folks here to help who want you succeed. It is puzzling I admit.

I generally see or hear  about devices just not responding, not responding when they should not.

You will get this figured out.

I got a response today as well, with the same AWS info. Glad they took care of it and responded as well, shows they care.

I received a response to the email I sent to Smartenit last night and they said it was an AWS server issue (Amazon) and is now resolved.  I'm impressed that they responded and fixed it on a Sunday.

As of the time of this post the Smartenit server is back up and all is working normally! 

This the RM4 Pro that I bought as it states that it works with 315MHz:

Use a Palm Pad to teach X10 codes to the RM4 Pro through its app. Any X10 transceiver will receive the signals. I had a CM15a on hand so I used that as it receives all housecodes. The CM15a needs no set up - just plug it in near the RM4 Pro. Once the RM4 Pro learns the codes tell Alexa to discover devices and you're in business.

NOTE: Not all RM4 Pro's handle 315MHz (which has a wide enough bandwidth to cover the 310MHz used by X10). I recommend buying the same one I did at the above link.

Where do I get Broadlink  RM4? Does it work with Alexa?

Is your system back? Mine is not yet.
Thanks for your response.

Right now, it's a server outage. The problem you had before appears to be something else. Could have been a local internet or router issue but if everything else was good, I'd try a different power supply as wall warts can and do fail while still appearing to work.

I bought a Broadlink RM4 Pro that transmits to a CM15a (any X10 transceiver will do) to use as a backup. Since I don't use it daily I don't know if they've had any server issues.

Thanks for the info. I tried adding one in a junction box, but as I was feeding multiple fixtures off one swithch I thought I could improve the filtering by installing a choke on each fixture instead of one choke feeding all 5. Also less chance of overloading the choke.
