X-10 Wall Switch Pushbutton Repair

Good to see someone posting here. I check it daily. I think most people have gotten away from Usenet, unfortunately. But I guess the true dinosaurs still lurk here. I have read many of your articles and I still use X10 stuff everywhere in my house. I even used a whole house code for Halloween stuff in front of my house. I tried to use one of the so called Powerflash modules to send an X10 signal whenever someone gets between the sensors in front. This turns on other stuff and alerts me in the house. I've found the Powerflash module to be highly unreliable. I've finally dumped it and have gone to a outlet box module (XPT3) to send an X10 signal when a low voltage connection is made. It works well.

Yes, I can see the traffic has dropped considerably from years ago. I reme mber you Art from the days when was active. I have not changed my system m uch so I turned to other hobbies. After 20+ years the whole family uses th e system without thinking much about it. All the best.

Thanks for the tip!

The switches I have problems with are the Icon ones with the small button switch, that corrodes over time in damp areas like bathrooms. I've got a couple of those I need to tear apart and find replacement switches for.

A lot of my house is still basic X-10 devices. I was just looking at the date of my first HomeSeer license and was surprised at how long some of this stuff has been in operation. :)
