Remote works but not interface

[Cobra351]

I seacrhed and could not fine any answers, please let me know if you have a suggestion.

I have 3 lights all set to the same address, a8. All three work when using the remote; however, only 2 work via the computer. I have swicth devices and addresses several times and end up with the same result. They always work with the remote but not the AHP.

It could be your computer (or monitor) is generating line noise (most do).

Or it could be your using an uninterpretable power supply that absorbs the signal (called a signal sucker).

Or .... it could be a phase issue (or several other things all mentioned here at the forum).

Things you can try are: Extending the USB cord... get the AHP as far away from the PC as you reasonably can. Put the AHP on an extention cord (if needed) but don't use the same circut as the PC uses.

I had this same problem (assigning the same House/Unit Codes to different modules), and it seemed to work for some time.  But infrustration I finally just assigned the lamps different codes and made up a macro to make them work.  Try setting up A8 as a macro to turn the lights on.

Thanks for the quick replys.....

I did try addressing this one to a7, leaving the other 2 at a8, same result. They were both set dawn/dusk. The two at a8 worked fine, a7 still works with the remote but not the macro.

Will keep trying.

Also, dawn/dusk was a problem for me.  Try a timer without it for a test.

Is the CM15A AHP Interface being used to receive the Remotes Signals or is there an additional Transceiver doing the remotes? If not you may have a signal problem from where the CM15A is connected and the lights that do not respond.
