CS277 not working quite right

[Brian H]

Does it make a difference if the control wire is disconnected at the CS277 end or the WS469 end?
Maybe the control wire from the CS277 to the WS469 is picking up stray noise, between them.
I have no data on the new WS469 so I can't say how touchy the sensor input. It should not but who knows.

If possible, I would still suggest trying an incandescent bulb load. It is possible the LED load is making noise on the load output wire. That is effecting the sensor operation.

When I disconnected the control wire I did so at the CS277 which would be the way to generate the most noise.  I don't have any non-LED bulbs to try it with.

There is a thread on Jeff's Forum where a user was having issues when a WS469 was used as a test for a possible bad master part of a WS4777 set.

On the WS469 does the Red indicator glow as expected when it is off and there is a small current lighting the it through the load?

The WS469 has a "nightlight" on it that lights when it is set to off, and that is working correctly.

Also, this behavior is happening with 2 WS469s + CS277s that go into the same switch boxes, I would not expect to have 2 fail in exactly the same way.

There is a thread on Jeff's forums.
Where a WS469 was causing similar issues with a CS277 that you are seeing. When used as a replacement test for a WS477.

Though there maybe a wiring differences between a WS477 or WS469 with a CS277. Depending on the older instruction sheet for a WS4777 kit or the latest one on the X10 sales site that I am looking at. 
That maybe a contributor to the issue in their case.

I swapped places of the CS277 and the WS469 so that the CS277 is closer to the circuit box and the WS469 is closer to the load (electrically speaking, not physically) and both buttons work and the remote works about 90%.

Not sure why that works better, but it does and I'll take it.
