AM466 Does Not Work w/AHP Under Load

[biggiantcheese]

I have a wierd problem.  I plugged my dog fountain into an AM466 3 wire appliance controller.  The fountain has a small submersible water pump.

I can control it from a wired controller or from a wireless controller which uses the home secureity system (I disabled wireless on the AHP). 

It does NOT work from the AHP.

If I unplug the dog fountain, i ACN control the AM466 from AHP!!

What's going on???

It could be noise from the fountain motor, try setting it on the same plug as the CM15A and see first.
might be noise is screwing up some range, signal on remotes are stronger then the CM15A?

I don't see how it can be motor noise.  The AM466 is operated by a loud mechanical relay.  When the fountain is attached, I never hear the relay activate so no power is going to the fountain motor.  It may be noise on the circuit near the fountain.

The funny thing is that this worked until about a month or two ago and the only thing that changed that I know of is update to the AHP software.

The AM466 has a local On/Off sensing circuit in it so a small amount of power is flowing in the motor even when off. I have never seen motors do that but have seen CFL's restart all by themselves.
