I have an EZX10 that is about a month old. It’s been working OK – but today when I tried to add a couple of more Insteon devices to a new group it seems to have gone off the deep end.
I’ve tried clearing it several times, reprogramming it via the Utility, reprogramming it the old-fashioned way and I’ve come to the conclusion that it is not long for this world.
Latest symptom:
I’m trying to set it so that:
X10 Insteon unit
C1 #1
C2 #2
C3 #3
C4 #4, #5
C5 #6, #7
C7 #8
When programming the manual way, the first couple of links go OK, but after the 3rd or 4th, things start getting cross-linked or non-linked.
i.e. I#3 responds to C1 and C4 for ON, but C3 for OFF.
I#4 and I#5 don’t respond to C4, but I#1 does most of the time
It is also becoming somewhat flakey when using the Utility – it often is needing many retries and for a while it was totally uncommunicative (but it “got better”…)
Is there any trick to __really__ clear the memory out? Using the “Restore Factory Configuration” button or doing the “hold the button for 12 seconds while plugging it in” don’t seem to clear everything – reading the Code Records still shows the X10 house and unit codes and group numbers that were in there before the reset. Maybe a firmware reload?
Mine has code v14 in it.
Also – if it is truly on the way out, I note that returns web page indicates that I need to return it in the original packaging – which of course went into the recycle bin once I got it working the day I got it…. is that really a requirement?
thanks
