Hi,
I am completely new to X10 technology. Can anyone advise on the following?
I have a Palmpad HR12A remote controller that should transmit to a RR501 transceiver. It controls my pool lights (on 1) and pool fountain (on 2). The pool light was not working last night although the HR12A seemed to be transmitting. Anyway, I changed the batteries in the HR12A palmpad, and then I could not get it to transmit anything. The LED did even not light up when pressing any button. I checked the batteries were all inserted corrected. I figured it had gone faulty, so I bought another one this morning, inserted new batteries, carefully ensuring right way round, etc. and it is exactly the same.
Questions. For the LED to come on when pressing a button is there a need to have the transceiver working as well or should the LED come one irrespective whether the transceiver is even plugged in or not?
Is there anything else I need to do to have these two devices working together?
I have selected channel I for both test, but tried others. When the RR501 is plugged in and if I hit the on / off button with a lamp plugged into the outlet the lamp come on and off.
I am pulling my hair out over this. I even tried the combination of HR12A RR501 at a friends house with no joy.
Many thanks I would appreciate any advice here.
