Micro Dimmer 2442-222 Load Flicker with Insteon Traffic

[ImagineAir]

I have been using Insteon products for some time, but this is a first home with extensive use and first time with an ISY. I have ended up using 3 of the micro dimmers to control lights where it was the only option. Everything is working, however the lights that are connected to the micro dimmers flicker when there is Insteon Traffic. This can be another room turning a light on/off, or programming scenes on the ISY. The more the light is dimmed, the more noticeable the flicker is. For troubleshooting we have turned off all other breakers in the house and the problem is still exhibited. They do not flicker if no other insteon device is touched.

Hi and welcome to the UDI forums!
What is the load that the microdimmer is controlling? LED Bulbs? Can you temporarily replace those with a different type/brand of bulb and test again? What happens?

Paul,

Two of them have led bulbs, the other has incandescent. I switched the led bulbs to incandescents and I am getting the same load flicker on all three.

Ok

This is a known problem that occurs occasionally. Sometimes its the load, and you've eliminated that.

It unfortunately gets more complicated from here and involves filtering of select non-automated switching powersupply devices in your house .. example, UPSs can cause this.

Take a look at this thread. As you scroll down to May 7th in the exchange, the problem gets solved and that resolution may help you.

I'm going to work to get all the breakers off except the two that would be needed to keep the ISY and the micro dimmers on and update.
