Anyway to factory reset Leviton HCM06 or HSM10 switches?
« on: February 24, 2020, 03:37:37 PM »

Hi,

I have a number of late 1990's, early 2000's Leviton HCM06 and HSM10 switches. A few of them have been acting kind of flaky lately, and I was wondering if there is a way to perform a factory reset on them?

Thanks for your help!

The front and back lights will stop coming on when our motion sensors trip, while the side-yard lights work fine. It often seems like they forget their X-10 codes as I can reset the codes and they seem to work for a while, then stop again. I'm just trying to think of things I can try to fix them.

I've looked at getting replacements on ebay, and they always seem to say "tested and factory reset". I didn't know if that simply means they've been set back to X-10 code A1, or if there is an actual reset that can be performed somehow.

Unfortunately, the term "tested and factory reset" on ebay often means they just blew the dust off.  rofl

Do not believe there is any kind of "reset" on these. I believe they were made by X10 and branded for Leviton. If Jeff Volp happens to see this, he can provide an "in the know" answer as I believe he uses them.

Actually, I used their predecessor in our home - the "red line" series that has code switches.  Those have been working flawlessly for almost 2 decades.  If yours are not working reliably I would suspect a nearby powerful noise source or very weak signal level.
