Great advertising. Lousy product. Purchased AHP and a couple of WS12A dimmer switches, a couple of lamp modules, and an RF style (3 unit) switch. I would say the AHP module stuck to the programmed schedule the first couple days. After that, lights may or may not go on. Or, go on at non-scheduled times. The RF switch will only work if it's 10 feet from the control module (what range!). The WS12A dimmer switch started going on whenever it wanted, even after I disconnected the control module and even with no bothersome appliances going (e.g. washer, dryer). I finally decided to re-install my original (basic) switch, and in removing the WS12A I discovered that it was almost too hot to touch! Needless to say I was glad I was removing this thing before something really serious happened. What a waste of money!

While AHP & X10 have some challenges, a WS12A switch under normal use should never be that hot. You may of had a defective switch.
BTW... What where you switching with it? (It's recommended for incandescent lights only 60-300 watts.)

X-10 came onto the scene ~30 years ago. Unfortunately, in the years since then, *MANY* new (and unexpected!) electronic devices came onto the market that INTERFERE with X-10. :o
Sadly, X-10 doesn't make this "critical information" public in their ads. :(
CLICK on my SIG LINK and spend some time reading - you'll learn how to get it all working... :)

Just my front porch lights. All incandescent and well below 300 watts.
