As you will see I am completely new to X10 and how the systems function. I recently purchase a starter kit from X10 that included:
1 Palm pad remote HR12A
3 Lamp modules LM465
3 appliance mod AM486
1 Transceiver TM751
2 wall switches WS467
What I am trying to accomplish is to control: my wall lights in my theater ( 1 WS467), the overhead lights in my game area (1 WS467), 1 set of cabinet lights (AM486) I only want these to turn off and on no dimming, 1 set of under counter top bar lights (AM486), 1 floor lamp (1 LM465), 1 table lamp (1 LM465), and 1 set of lights in my humidor cabinet (AM486) again these only want a on/off capability. On the phone the X10 sales person told me this kit has everything I need to make this work. I started installing today and I have run into problem after problem. So far I have the floor lamp, table lamp and light set in the humidor cabinet functioning off the remote and they work great. Problem number one, the two modules for the under counter lights and under cabinet lights will not work at all from the remote, I have tried different codes, different outlets, and even different things plugged into them and I get nothing. After almost pulling my hair out over this issue, I figured I would move to the wall switch, after being installed it worked great, I had to have dimmed and brightened the lights 15 times showing off for my kids, and now all of a sudden they will not work from the Palm Pad remote, the switch itself will turn them off, on and dim but the remote doesn't do anything. I guess I just need some direction from people that have set these type of systems up. At this point with only half of the system functioning, I don't know if the salesman was truthful when he said this is all I would need. I don't mind spending the money to get what I need but I want a system that I know will function correctly all the time. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
