I use the X-10 system for lamps controlled by some wall switches.
Have used the system for 6 years now in this house. The problem I am
having is on those old control modules. Mine have the BSR label if
that matters and are the push/push type.
The problem has occurred with only two of the modules so far.
The problem is that the lamp will turn on when the button is pressed
but turn right back off when it is released. As long as the button is
held in the lamp is on. If I used the controller and send the code to
turn on the lamp it blinks on and then off.
However, If I dim the lamp, even just a little bit, it stays on.
If I leave it on this way for a while, say two hours or so,
then for a couple of weeks it works fine and the fails again?
Any suggestions other that replacing the effected modules?
