Title: Lamp Module timers not responding
Post by: Len G on October 25, 2006, 11:48:27 PM

I am using AHP with about a dozen modules, total. Recently both of my lamp modules have stopped responding to timer settings, although they will respond when you click the icons from the AHP screen. All of the other modules, both appliance and wall switch modules, are responding to all timer events. Anyone have a thought on why just those modules, and just in response to timer events?

Thanks.

Have you plugged in any new electronic devices?

If not you might try the following.
If you have not already done so you could try reseting the CM15a. To do this unplug it from the wall and remove one battry for a few seconds. Reinstall the battery and plug the unit back in. Download the program back to  interface. This is the easiest thing to try and has worked for me when I have had similar problems.

If this doesn't work you may want to do a search of the forums for interference or noise.

Good luck

Jim

Thanks.

That helped in part. Now the macros and timers will turn off, but they still won't turn on. I'll try a noise filter and see if that helps.

To use an X10 noise filter you first have to know what's causing the noise.  Unplug from the wall (important!) all appliances like TV, VCR, UPS, PC, etc, with switching power supplies and see if that helps.  If so, start plugging in again one at a time until the problem recurs.  Once you've established which appliance(s) cause the problem, you isolate them from the power line with an X10 noise filter.  If you still have the problem after unplugging all such appliances, it's not a noise problem.

Also not sure if this will help, but I have had similar issues. Check out the thread at http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10913.0
