I have 2 switches that are giving me problems. On is a non dimming switch that I have had to reset several times to get it back online and now it will work in a program situation but, not when directly tapping the button. The other is a dimming switch and it went out all together so, I tried resetting it and it worked for a few minutes now, the led’s on the switch just flash in a sequence and I can’t get it to reset or do anything. Do I need to replace them or am I missing something?

Probably need to replace them.  Are they dual band or the old ones?  I had problems like that with the old single band units but have never had a dual band fail.  I have 100% replaced my old single band devices with dual band.  For fun, I tried replacing the capacitors on my failed single band devices and most of them worked again.  That might be more trouble than it is worth.  You can probably pick up some used dual band units for $30 or $40.

LED flashing in the bar graph display.  Sounds like the power supply is full of ripple. I too would suspect the filter capacitors. Especially in the older model power line only models.
