outletlinc dimmer V.41

[jwarner964]

Hi All

 

I have a outletlinc dimmer in a scene with a 6 button keypad button to turn on and off a lamp that works fine, I also have a stair light that has 2 switchlinc on/ off switches V.43. when you turn off the stair light using the switch at the top of the stairs, it is not the switch that feeds the load it turns off the outletlinc dimmer. but only after sunset. it will also turn it on. the status of the outlet dimmer does not change in the ISY. I do have some programs that run after sunset that include the outlet dimmer but the stair light switches are not in any programs. the switch that affects the outletlinc is pretty close to the  outletlinc about 5 ft, everything has been working fine until lately can't seem to fix the problem, any help would be great, 

 

thanks

How did you get the non-load SwitchLinc to turn off the OutletLinc dimmer "only after sunset" without a program?

Hi Stu

 

I don't know whats happening that why I posted my problem, was hoping someone could lead me in a direction to figure out how it is happening

Are you using any x10 codes or motion sensors in this setup?

Hi 

I do have one door sensor to turn a light on and off for a laundry room

If the dimmer was programmed with an x10 address during factory testing, or if it heard one while you were linking another controller, it may be responding to power line noise that resembles a valid x10 signal. To rule out that possibility, I would perform a quick factory reset on the dimmer, then use the ISY's Restore Device feature to rewrite only valid links.
