Erratic Lights turn on
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:14:46 PM »

Hello, This is a question from Australia. We use X-10 here (240 volt) but not the manufacturers you have. Most come from Europe.
The issue I have is erratic light turn ons with no one home. Is there a std rule for filtering out noise (what to use and where) or stabilizing the X10 to eliminate such random actions?
I am using DIN rail 700 watt incandescent load switching controllers (dimmer) with a wall switch (X10 based).

Is the load you are controlling. Incandescent or 240 volt Halogen?
Are you using an optional push button on the #2 terminal to also control the LD11?

If it is noise triggering the LD11. You would have to find the noise making device and then add the filter to it.
Though based on the split phase 120 volts we have here.
Many of Jeff's great Troubleshooting Tutorials may give you some added information.
