Hello,
I had X10 for the past few years. Most of my house uses X10 light switches. I also have a few lamp modules, appliance modules, motion sensors, security console and components, etc, all running with ActiveHome Pro. For the first few months I ran into flag issues and timer problems. I decided AHP is too unreliable without keeping it plugged into the computer all the time, so I keep it running at all times. After the first year I pretty much understood all of the issues I had and was OK with them, for the most part. Lately, however, the system started switching lights on and off without user interaction. My wife and kids call it the "ghost effect", because sometimes our lights go off and then immediatelly back on. This can happen once in the morning, three times in a row, in the evening, it is completely random. My question to the experts is this: Are these signs of bad hardware components? If so, how can I find the culprit? Remember, I have over 50 modules in various shapes and forms. Could it be a motion sensor going nuts? I replaced all the bateries on all motion sensors, but it didn't help. Is lights blinking on and off like this a sign of noise in the electric system? Any help in diagnosing this issue is highly appreciated.
Thank You!
