X10 blinded me. Can't see the forest for the trees!

So the x10 lamp controller next to my spot on the couch quit turning on the lamp it was connected to.
After digging behind the couch to retrieve it so I could cycle power to it and re-address it while I was back there. It still did not work.
I went and got another remote from the basement. On my way downstairs  I surmised that maybe my TM751 was hung but the remote in the basement turned on the devices there so up the stairs I went with the 2ond remote. I tried that. No go. So I went into the bedroom to see if I could control those lights. I could.

The bulb was bad.

You are not alone. I have done similar things myself.

Ooooooooo.  That's a tad worse than troubleshooting a new macro for a couple of hours - only to find it doesn't work if you don't upload/save it.

Great Smiley!

bitman,

GREAT STORY! We all laughed because we have all done it.

Thanks for sharing.
Now I have to ask.
You said:

Are you talking X10 module? or is that "writers embelishment"?
