Title: Ws13A wont turn off from Active Home Pro
Post by: stu a on August 24, 2009, 10:11:54 PM

Using WS13A and WS14A in 3 way configuration and Active Home Pro timer to control a compact flourescent bulb. Had been working fine until recently. Now Active Home Pro will turn light on, but not off. Light can be turned off manually from the switch. Also, when I look at the activity log, while I can see the macro instruction to turn the light on, no activity shows up to turn light off at appointed time.

Identical situation on 2 circuits (eg 2 sets of switches controlling differnt lights on their own distinct device codes.

Any ideas?

Experiencing the same problem, cannot get my WS13A to turn off with Active Home Pro.  Any replies to fix this problem?

What kind of a load are you turning on and off?
Some loads make enough noise to not allow the X10 signal to turn it off. If it is on. That is why sometimes you can turn it on but not off.

You might want to try using an incandescent bulb, just for testing. If everything works, then you have a noisy CFL, and you should replace it.
