Ok. I have had a CM15A installed now for 3 yrs, same receptacle, no new equipment of any sort added to the house in several months.
I have a mix of devices (dimmers, 3-way dimmers, switches, super sockets).
I have several timers and macros set to turn on and off daily, outside lighting, curio cabinet lighting, etc.

Everything has worked pretty flawlessly for 3+ yrs now.

I came home tonight went into the bathroom and the light would not stay on. It would immediately turn off after turning on. I could hold down the dimmer it would dim up and down while holding it, but the second I released it would turn off.

I plug in the notebook to see;

RECIEVE RF - A1 OFF
Sometimes several a second.

I do the typical reset to no avail. I go and find all the RF remotes that I can round up and pull all the batteries. Same thing.
I clear the memory and resend all timers and macros. Then things started to go off and on, on their own. Right now it is still getting the RECIEVE RF - A1 OFF over and over.

I do not have anything on A1...

Any thoughts?

i have a box full of new ones, maybe they go haywire when the batteries are heading south. All 3 motions have the batteries removed.
I am wondering if the 5 yr old has something laying on top of a remote somewhere in her playroom or bedroom!

Yea my 3 year old had on he put in his Toy box....took me a hour to find it lol. I would take the batteries out of anything you don't use just to ensure it wont mess with you.

Don't forget key chain remotes also?

After finally getting pissed enough after posting i scoured the whole damned house. My daughter had thrown books on top of a remote and sure as chit it was the problem. Thanks for the help guys. At least the receiver has been reset and fresh batteries installed!
