2 Wire SwitchLinc Dimmer Issue

[chadg]

So, here is another strange one Mark.... I have a RF 2 Wire SwitchLinc Dimmer that I can turn on by a dim command and Off always responds, but it will NOT turn on via a plain ON command.

From the device page:
Device Type: RF 2-Wire SwitchLinc Dimmer
Firmware Version: BC
Comm Reliability: 100% (0 failed out of 79 cmds)

I've also attached a detailed log on sending:

dim command
off command
on command
dim command
off command

the only command that did not actually work is the On command.

Make sure your default on level for the device is set to something other than '0'. In my experiences with some devices they default to 0.

yes, please check or program the default on level to something

Default on is 90%...

I've noticed some issues with my 2-wire dimmers as well. I've returned one to Smarthome already and some others have been acting up as well.

The one I returned would turn off immediately after I turned it on manually. After doing this a couple of times, it would stay on. I replaced the switch and now the new one works fine except when it is dimmed (anything other than full on or full off). When dimmed it will turn off and on repeatedly. I turned on detailed logging in Mark's plugin and there are no messages going to or coming from the switch, it just blinks on and off until it is turned to 100% on or off.

So I'm thinking they might have some hardware issues with these switches. If you reach a dead end with troubleshooting the Homeseer/Insteon Plugin you may want to get in touch with Smarthome and see if it might be a hardware issue. I think I'm going to have to do the same now that the "new" switch is having issues as well.

I never really had any problems with the 2-wire switch i have.

how about a factory reset and reprogram
