Please log in for more thread options ActiveHome to schedule them on and off at dusk and dawn. From time to time they come on in a dimmed mode. Any thoughts why? EricD | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options are designed to come on at the level they were at when turned off. Others can be programmed to come on at a certain level. Still others have no dimming but only on/off. | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Dave,
One of the switches is an XPDI3-IW and the other is an XPD3-IW. It's weird the way they are coming on at dusk in a dimmed state. For instance, last night they came on at 30%, but both were the same, they always are. You mentioned that some of the switches are on/off only. Which ones? I've found the part numbering schemes of X10, X10 Pro, and apparently some other lines quite confusing. EricD | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options AFAIK those are both only one way and I don't believe they have "memory
dim". However, I do not try to keep up with all of the latest features. Do you have motion or dawn/dusk sensors that turn on the lights? Do you have a phase coupler? It could be that you're experiencing collisions of PLC commands with the result being a Dim command. SmartHome's ToggleLinc PLC switch is On/Off only. http://www.smarthome.com/23895W.HTML They also have a non-dimming ICON switch that can be configured for X-10. http://www.smarthome.com/2876SB.HTML >Dave,
