andrew77 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I'm hoping somebody has had some experience with this one. I have a room of lights downstairs that flickers when I press any Insteon in the house. It flickered a little when I had a regular dimmer on it when I pressed Insteon kpls swls etc... but I chalked it up to a cheap dimmer. I figured it would go away with the swl (latest model) but it's still there. The room of ten lights is the only thing on the breaker. I have the same lights all through the basement hooked up to Insteon and no other issues. It also flickers when I'm programming with the Console. I have an electrician who can come and check it out but I wanted to ask on the forum first. Drew
LeeG Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 What type of load is being used? Unlikely simple incandescent bulbs. CFLs, LEDs, etc?
oberkc Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 To be sure that I am clear: You have a circuit with ten lights only. The ten lights were all controlled by a simple "regular, cheap" dimmer. The ten lights are now controlled by an insteon switchlinc. In both cases, the ten lights all flickered in response to any other insteon devices? I have experienced some of the fancy Lutron switches react to insteon signals, but not simple "cheap" dimmer switches. I can only think that there is a loose wire somewhere.
andrew77 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 I brought a friend over who is a licensed electrician. I looked at the system and said it didn't make sense either. No loose wires or issues with anything he could find. I replaced it with another SWL and it doesn't seem to do it. The real test will be when I put that same SWL in another room to see if it flickers. Then I'll know its the SWL. Drew
polexian Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I had the same problem localized to one room. When i turned on the ceiling fan the light would flick on then off. The switch would react though. It quit doing it after a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
andrew77 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Encouraging. Thanks. I hope the SWL is fine. I'm moving it to another room to see. Drew
