So, I used to have this annoying little problem with a few of my X10 lights switching themselves on, just for fun. What is interesting is that there is no record of an X10 signal showing up in the HS log (e.g. light on C3 comes on but when I immediately go to the status it's shown as "off" and the log shows no activity on that address).
A few weeks ago, the PC that is running HS had a hard-drive failure (another tale of woe that I won't go into here...) and so we were left doing things the old-fashioned way (momentary switches on the wall) for a couple of weeks. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but the problem with the phantom light-switcher disappeared.
This week, the HD was repaired and the HS computer fired back up again. And immediately the problem with lights came back again.
This obviously implies that this is something to do with HS / the computer / the CM12U interface. Does anyone have any clever ideas or experience, as it's not only a pain switching lights off downstairs when I wake up in the morning, but it's also costing electricity.
Set-up is:
UK-based
HS 2.2.0.66
Vista OS
CM12U via USB
Mix of DIN-rail and plug-in devices.
Seems to only affect a couple of devices that are in the same room as the PC.
Thanks in advance for saving my sanity!
