I can't even get my WS13A to function as a wall switch-- let alone respond to X10 commands.
I replaced a conventional switch for a kitchen ceiling flourescent fixture (22W + 13W circular bulbs) with a WS13A. I can't get anything but a strobing effect (very much like a fire alarm lamp) from my fixture. I was pretty confident of the wiring (hot/fixture/neutral) but I didn't have my meter that day so I tried reversing (what I thought were the) hot/fixture wires with no success. In both cases the red LED glows very faintly, but pressing the switch seems to have no effect on the LED or fixture. When I reversed the wires, the relay (and the fixture with it) engaged for just a half second or so, then back to the "strobing."
I have a defective switch...correct?
I assume this is the case, but on the other hand I just had an issue with a bunch of socket rockets and it seems to defy the odds (and completely aggravates me) to have another hardware problem after having no issues at all for years.
I've had X10 for a long time but this is my first time using anything in-wall other than a WS467 wall switch (which of course uses only two wires).
Any thoughts are appreciated.
