I recently discovered what I'm sure someone else in this group must've
already figured out: that using a Leviton 6417 PLC motion sensor on a system
with a Levition HCA02-10E Coupler/Repeater causes continuous ping-pongs when
the 6417 tries to send an off command. Is there a work-around for this that
still allows me to keep a coupler/repeater in the system? This a large
house (belongs to a famous rock star who's last name could be abbreviated
BJ) and I can't get away without the coupler/repeater. Anyone ever tried
and ACT or the older leviton repeater with any success? TIA

It's the HCA02-10E. Replace it with an ACT coupler/repeater. The older
Leviton coupler/repeater (6201?) did not have this problem but does not
repeat extended codes.

If you search comp.home.automation (much more active) for "HCA02-10E" or
"Leviton coupler" or "powerline storms" you'll find many reports of similar
problems over the past couple of years.

Very much agreed ACT coupler is the one I recommend to everyone.
