Senor Mano Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I recently installed a 2477D Dual-Band SwitchLinc. However, the lights it controls intermittently flicker (lights flash off very briefly). There does not seem to be a pattern to the flickering. Sometimes the flicker every few seconds; other times they flicker every few minutes. The issue persists no matter the brightness set on the SwitchLinc, and continues even if I remove all other Insteon devices and PLMs from the "network". The load is a set of three pot lights, with flood lights (normal incandescent floods, 60W each at full power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzpatri8 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Do you have a TED unit or something else that is using the power lines for communications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Mano Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Nope. No other power line devices. No X10. Nada. Just the ISY, SmartHome PLM for the ISY, 3 dual band ApplianceLincs, 1 dual band SwithLinc, and the outdoor compatible ApplianceLinc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzpatri8 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd start looking for a loose connection on that circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automationgeek Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was wondering if you did find the issue ? I been having the same issue on one Insteon switch. I checked the connection everything to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If you have checked the connections and verified correct loads. Call the Insteon Gold Support Line and see what they say. There could be problems with the electronics that are not aware of. I know some of the earlier hardware revision SwitchLinc Dimmers would flicker with power line signals and noise. They updated the electronics to correct the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Mano Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 mysteryman: I had two early models, both with the issue. I called the Gold line back then and they insisted it was a loose connection or interference. Same issue with both switches no matter where I installed them. I waited a few weeks, called back, and they admitted to some known issues -- swapped both out, and the new ones are fine. Learned my lesson -- don't live on the bleeding edge with a new model release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
