Title: Light switches will not work any more
Post by: caddyroger on December 05, 2009, 05:48:47 PM

 I have 5 x10 light switches. They worked OK until I tried to add a 6Th switch. Now 2 lights will not work.I I move the TM751 where the 1 switch is it will work. The other one will not work at all. What could have happen?  B:(

Something has changed in the house.

Have you added anything new to the house or moved an electrical device? Something as a cell phone charger etc.
You may have added a noise maker or signal sucker with a new device or move one to a more place where it effects the system.

What type of light are you controlling with the new sixth switch?

Nothing changed except for adding the 6th switch. I was trying to turn on and off a Yamaha amp.

You're turning off and on a yamaha amp with a WS467?

I certainly hope not!!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!

DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER.

Can you tell us the model numbers of the units you are using?  This will be very important, and we'll walk you through this.

I was trying to use a ws12a with a light a light to see if Logitech 880 remote turn it on. Some light will not work with the remote. The light worked ok but the amp did not. That when every ting went down hill.. The switches are actually are appliance switches.
Any way I moved the ir IR543mini controller to different receptacle and every thing is back working. I ordered a AM486 Appliance Module. for the amp.
Thanks for the help
