Title: ws467 turns lamp on but not off
Post by: drt1200 on February 24, 2011, 12:20:26 PM

I have a problem with my x10 system. I am using a ws467 standard switch turning my bedroom lamps. I am using a remote control module but it will not turn the lamps off. The wierd part here is, that if I use my mini controller that plugs in to the wall, everything functions correctly. Any ideas on why the mini would work but not the remote?
Thanks

Are the controller and the transceiver used to receive the remotes commands. In the same outlet?
If not try and move the transceiver to the outlet the controller is in. Then see if it can turn them off.
If you can. You may have a weak signal or noise. That is worse when the lights are on.

Could also be the controller is on the same phase as the ws467 and the transceiver is on the other phase of the house.
Do you have any phase coupler or repeater between the phases?

You are using a standard incandescent bulb in the lights?
