I have 4 lights on 4 WS467 Switches which I control with with either the switch or the HR12a palm remote. Everyhing works fine most of the time but sometimes the lights randomly turn themselves on and I have to manually turn them off. (Switches set to B1, B2, B3, B4 transceiver TM751 set on B). What is causing this?

Some have reported that noise on the powerline can turn them on all by themselves.
If you remove the TM751 from the mix for a test. Observe it they still go on by themselves.

I will try that but will the remote work without the TM751?

portside: You need a transceiver for the remote to work! so You need the TM751. Brian suggested removing it as only a test!
Check your remote/s for sticky switches. Do a search on here for Noise posts. There are several which will help find the noise and filter it!

You may have a neighbor connected to the same electric company power transformer who is also using X10.  Try changing your wall switches to a different housecode.

ABSOL-TIVELY NOT! 

Please read: PLC / RF Transmitters, Receivers and Transceivers

*IF* you remove your TM751, what is your Palmpad going to "talk" to??? 

 

[WARNING:

Although sometimes bluntly to the point TakeTheActives advice is well worth considering he obviously has the experience to back it up...

portside,

Please INVEST some time reading these forums *AND* my X-10 FAQ (click on my SIG LINK)! 

IMO, folks *SHOULD* have  a *MINIMAL* amount of X-10 Knowledge (gained by *READING* FAQs and previous posts) *BEFORE* they start asking (previously answered *OR* obvious) questions...
