Title: odd CM15A issue
Post by: GTIMANiac on February 02, 2009, 09:59:40 PM

Ok. I have had a CM15A installed now for 3 yrs, same receptacle, no new equipment of any sort added to the house in several months.
I have a mix of devices (dimmers, 3-way dimmers, switches, super sockets).
I have several timers and macros set to turn on and off daily, outside lighting, curio cabinet lighting, etc.

Everything has worked pretty flawlessly for 3+ yrs now.

I came home tonight went into the bathroom and the light would not stay on. It would immediately turn off after turning on. I could hold down the dimmer it would dim up and down while holding it, but the second I released it would turn off.

I plug in the notebook to see;

RECIEVE RF - A1 OFF
Sometimes several a second.

I do the typical reset to no avail. I go and find all the RF remotes that I can round up and pull all the batteries. Same thing.
I clear the memory and resend all timers and macros. Then things started to go off and on, on their own. Right now it is still getting the RECIEVE RF - A1 OFF over and over.

I do not have anything on A1...

Any thoughts?

i have a box full of new ones, maybe they go haywire when the batteries are heading south. All 3 motions have the batteries removed.
I am wondering if the 5 yr old has something laying on top of a remote somewhere in her playroom or bedroom!

Yea my 3 year old had on he put in his Toy box....took me a hour to find it lol. I would take the batteries out of anything you don't use just to ensure it wont mess with you.

Don't forget key chain remotes also?
