How to trouble shoot this?

[mitch236]

Last night I came home to find my outdoor front lights turning on and off like a light show. Turns out my 2 year old son had been caught playing with one of the light switches which caused this.

 

Here's a view of the log for this event which kept going until I completely reloaded the PLM:

Hi mitch236,

 

This program is being repeated (in a loop):

Scene:Outdoor / Front Yard / Outdoor Front Off 0 Tue 2012/09/11 06:39:12 PM Program Log

 

What you need to do is to go to the Programs tab and use Find/Replace to find all occurrences of Scene:Outdoor / Front Yard / Outdoor Front in the Action section. In all likelihood, one of those programs is causing a loop.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks. Found a possible source and fixed it. Unfortunately, I won't know if it worked unless it doesn't!!
