SWL odd behaviour

Featured Replies

I have a SWL (older version) that wasn’t responding properly. It wouldn’t come on with a scene but would if you told it to separately. I tried airgapping it and factory resetting. Then restoring device in the GUI. Now tonight it’s not really responding and sometimes it ramps up to 100% on its own with no prompt

Is this salvageable or a remove and replace situation?

Just popping in to bump the post to see if anyone has an idea before I just start replacing devices.

If you're saying the device responds to direct on/off commands but doesn't respond as a member of a scene as a responder, the first thing I would check is if the links were created for the scene. You can manually test this by linking the Switchlinc to be controlled by another device like a Switchlinc with no load or a Keypadlinc and assigning it to a button that is not the first button on an 8 button Keypadlinc or one of the four buttons on a 6 button Keypadlinc.

Things seem to have gotten worse. When I turn on the SWL with the app it ramps up and down, it doesn’t respond to voice commands and will only turn on by controlling the paddle of the SWL itself.

You have tried the power down and back up reset?

Factory reset and restore?

I have. That’s when the issue seemed to have gotten worse

How old is it? Possible it's end of life

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I’ll replace it today and see if that doesn’t help.

A few years ago I had the same problem, so I disassembled it to have a look at the internals. There was leakage and corrosion around some of the capacitors, simply a mess.

I just replaced it.
