E8 = 0001 1101
D10 =1010 1111

Both House and Unit codes are different so I don't think that's the problem. I suspect that the problem may be with the PLM firmware version as I've never had an issue with mine which are older.  Since the PLM can't be updated perhaps Al will have a f/w upgrade for the P2 to solve it.

Thanks.  Never did understand their "binary count" logic.  I hope they can make a work around for the P2.

Well of course when I say it has been working flawlessly, it goes south yesterday.  But here is the interesting part.  I use it for Alexa control mostly, and I asked her to turn on the bedroom lamps (code D10).  Instead I noticed that my sprinkler pump (code E8) activated from that request.  I believe it has happened another time as the sprinkler pump was running a couple days back and was not supposed to be on.  I have also had some unexplained activations of other devices.  So for those in the know, is there a similarity between E8 and D10 (one bit difference in packet?) that might point at something?

M14A is not an X10 part number. Is it a MT14A Mini Timer? With the clock display.
It could be a power line signal issue or the electronics maybe going south.
You may want to try a module with issues. In an outlet on the same circuit as the MT14A and see if things are different.
The MT14A is kind of special. The power supply wall wart is has the power supply, zero crossing detector and the power line transmitter in it. So a a standard wall wart can not be substituted.

I'm not an expert but some actual experts have pointed out that some devices with spinning wheels can eventually loose connectivity over time.  In those cases simply spinning the wheel a few times corrects the issue.  I doubt that's the issue you have.  I had a mini-controller that failed.  I believe it was bad capacitors but after playing with it for a while, I simply decided to replace it since I was able to locate a replacement for really cheap.  Economics have changed so it may now be worth repairing some devices.

Hello experts

My m14 controller has been working strangely lately, as I see that some devices don't get turned on at their programmed time. I realize rhat the issue could be something else, so I don't truly know.
The slider button on the controller for selecting 1-4 vs 5-8 is extremely flimsy and loose, so I ask if that has anything to do with the sending of signals?
I assume not, but I don't know.

Thank you

I also contacted Smartenit support and received a request from Al there to send info on the PLM.  He mentioned in his email that they were getting other reports of this same issue.  I sent him a photo of the back on my PLM.  Since that contact 3 weeks ago, my system has not needed a reboot.

Al is the CEO so you've got the attention of the right guy. 

Any idea on the firmware in the 2412U PLM?

I have shared these last 2 events with Smartenit after my original report to their Support.
