A good way to post large pictures is to go to tinyupload.com and post them there then copy the link and post it here.  It's a free service that let's you post files and pix.

thanks for the tip BR

Two hours since the disconnect, Roxanne hasn't put on the red light. Of the xps3.
Stay tuned.

Also tune in to the Mars Perseverance landing later on today. Or not.

damn it, damn it.
Roxanne put on the red light, even though I told her that those days are over, and that she doesn't have to sell her body to the night...
TRANSLATION: the xps3 came on, and I'm not sure who or what else to blame.

1. The 27 new solar panels? Doubtful since the light woes began before the system was installed or wired.
2. A rogue lizard or ant? Perhaps.
3. The circuitry feeding that xps3? It is a circuit of 5 or 6 gfci (i think) and normal outlets in the gazebo that don't have anything plugged into them.
4. A rogue lizard or ant? Perhaps
5. The XPS3 is just....acting out? Perhaps.

I don't have another xps3 to test out, so I can either:
1. Get another xps3 and hope.
2. Add a photovoltaic sensor and call it a day. However, I don't want the lights to stay on all night, so I prefer to have control.

Do you have any other modules, either lamp or appliance that you can set to the same code and observe?

surely. I have a lamp module that I can plug in near me tomorrow and listen; I'll set it to code 8 like the xps3

[brobin]

Yes, set it to the same code and plug a lamp into it and see if it behaves the same.  If yes, something is sending a signal - if no, maybe a bad XPS3.

an AM466 is plugged in right next to me, and I'm ready to hear it click

[brobin]

You might want to plug a light or something in there in case you miss it.

true, but it makes a REAAAALLLY loud lick noise. And I have it 3.6892 feet away

What if you have to leave to grab a beer... or get rid of one?

i'll wear one of those goofy hard hats that houses 2 cans and has hoses. Or, I will remain sober until I dominate this xps3. I shall do it.

Hello guys
I reconnected the wires yesterday, and the lights remained off till 3pm,and I was ready to declare a victory. However, they came on at 3 and then again later, so the problem continues.
I think that it's time to declare that xps3 incompetent, even though he did work fine for some time.

Can we assume that the Appliance module remained off when the lights came on? 

[nabril15]

Can we assume that the Appliance module remained off when the lights came on?

Yes indeed. Nothing is transmitting On code 7 during the day

Time for a new one. I'm sending you a PM.
