Hello all,
I had three of the old Insteon eight button wall switches that finally bit the dust so I replaced them with three of these. With having the different tap functions I figured I could use them for my most needed event triggers. I installed them and programmed them and they worked great. Triple tap shuts lights off at night and sets the burglar alarm, etc. What I have discovered, the multi tap function won't work if the local load on the switch is completely off. I tried it again last night. "tap tap tap" nothing. Ramped up the light enough to light one LED. "tap tap tap" fired the event. Is this the way they are supposed to work? I sure hope not, because two of them are on lights that are not used regularly and I hate to have to turn them on to use the tap commands. Looks like they all have software 5.14. Anyone else run up against this?
Thanks,
John
