Status will not change in Homeseer.

[rjl0002]

Everything has been fine for weeks. And then as of today when I turn a device on in the Homeseer Device screen the light will turn on but the status still shows off. I also have a couple of Motion detectors that show motion detected all of the time.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

Is Homeseer receiving the signals? I suspect not and this indicates a weak X10 signal that needs coupling and repeating. I wish there was a getting started guide that comes with X10 that let all users know up front that in order to get a stable and usable X10 signal throughout your home you must have a coupler/repeater. These bridge the 2 phases of the powerline coming into your house as well as amplify and repeat the X10 signal to increase it's range. These are a must if you are going to use X10 devices.

Here's the one I use:

They have the best price your probably going to find.

Hi Rupp,

I was having a signal problem a few months ago so I installed this.
http://smarthome.com/4821.html and it seemed to of solved that problem. The weird part of this is I can turn the lights off and on from Homeseer it's just the on/off status icon is always off.

Thanks again!

How are you turning the light on/off? Are you right clicking on the device and selecting on/off using the GUI?

For the most part I am useing motion sensors with the Doomotion plugin and CAC. When I noticed the problem I then was using the Homeser GUI to try and turn it off/on.
Thanks
