Title: Losing control of controls
Post by: ernie on January 26, 2006, 10:22:17 PM

I've been running a bunch of wall switches
and modules to control various things around
the house. Up until the past few weeks
everything has been working fine.
Lately though, one of my wall switches, which
is set to go on at 9pm and off at 10:15pm
doesn't come on by itself. If I turn it on
"manually" it will shut itself off at 10:15
as scheduled, but it never turns itself on.
I've also had similar problems with modules
acting on their own.
Any suggestions? Is this the way these
modules go bad?
Thanks
Ernie

Are you using ActiveHome to control these
Modules? If so, you may want to try
clearing the memory in the USB interface
and then downloading your Timers and
Macro's again. I had one Appliance module
on a timer that was acting the way you
describe and this cleared it up.
