Strange behaviour

  1. Default Strange behaviour

    Using my wireless remotes [KC674 or HR12A] I can control the living room and
    family room lamps [on/off only] utilizing a RR501 and CM11A by setting up an
    IF/THEN statement in my software. I can even control the modules manually by
    click on their icons in the software.

    However turning the computer off and using only the remotes I can't control
    the lights by sending their lamp module house/unit codes. I have made sure
    the RR501, remotes and lamp modules are set to the same codes. Shouldn't the
    RR501 receive the RF remotes signal and transmit directly to the lamps
    modules?



  2. Default Re: Strange behaviour

    You need to provide us with more information. Specifically, what are the
    IF/THEN statements in your software?

    The RR501 receives RF and automatically sends it as PLC if it is for the
    RR501's housecode.

    The CM11A only receives PLC (or via RS232) so it can only be acting on
    the PLC codes sent by the RR501.

    My guess is that the CM11A (& lamp modules) and RR501 are on different
    phases and that you either need to put everything on the same phase or
    add a phase coupler.

    After some hours of trying the RR501 in different outlets throughout the
    house I have come up with the following conclusion - it's failing somehow.
    Now it's working intermittently on the same outlet as the lamp module and
    the outlet is a one circuit duplex outlet. Plugging in another RR501
    results in excellent operation. I see however to do what I want I think I
    will need to invest in a WGL unit. Thank you for taking the time to respond
    to my problem. I appreciate it...... Gene
