Im usually not at my city place much during the warmer months so not sure what caused this but I suspect t
It was a power surge of some kind. I first notice my palm pad was not sending A3 on /off signals. On closer inspection I noticed my cm15 was sending out A2 on/off signals correspondence to the A3. My Broadlink RM Pro also was behaving this way. I opened HomeGenie to see if it was seeing the wrong RF however it was seeing nothing ( have it on a pi inside a Cm15) strangely it couldn't see any rf nor could I see any plc send either. This cm15 is on a UPS  I switched the pi over to my other running cm15 and was able to see x10 commands plc an RF however the RF A3 sends from my palm pad and Broad link were showing up as A2  since I couldn't  remember if my Broadlink ever sent the proper A3 code I just removed that from it since I had used the palm pad to program it in the first place.
Thinking my palm pad was finally starting to show it's age as well as the cm15 i just continued on with daily things. That is untill just after Christmas when I tried using Alexa  to turn on A3 and noticed A2 came on as well WTF
Back to HomeGenie as this was getting the Alexa web call from a esp2866. HomeGenie was getting the Alexa esp2866 call it showed the A3 call but not the A2. Turned off the A2 the hit A3 off  but A2 on again A3 didn't turn off nor did it change status in HomeGenie    Ok so cm15 must have been affected by what ever killed the other cm15a luckily I still had a few CM15A spares. Grabbed one out of my spare x10 totes and plugged it in, however it displays the same issues with A3 This one was never plugged in before. Now I'm  realy confused is this a HomeGenie issue? Nope unplugged the pi and tested using RF and still A3 turned on A2 . Back to my totes for my last original CM15A (the ones with the plastic antenna and mounted rf send and reciever boards (not intergrated)) this one worked with HomeGenie. To my surprise so did the A3 RF work correctly.

So I'm stumped if this was a power surge,  why my pi works and why the one Cm15A is dead but the other 2 only the RF is messed up?
But the biggest mystery is how the one not plugged got the RF weirdness.
Are these just age related? If so why does my oldest CM15A still work it was in the same bine as a newer one that has The RF weirdness?

Well that's a strange one!  Do you have an RR501 to test with too?

The only Rf to plc controllers in the mix were the two cm15a modules. No repeaters/boosters either.
The date codes on the two units displaying this oddity  are 17G29 and 18G49 the one that has failed completly is 16L50
