I've recently recieved my RFXCOM transmitter/reciever (LAN version) and got everything set up. I can control all my lights etc from Homeseer with no issues.
I've started to set up my HE remotes to trigger events in Homeseer, so for example, a wall switch in my lounge controls all the lights.
The switch is set up as an input device and the event is triggered on 'value set to' e.g. 250 for on, 0 for off. (A seperate event for each).
The problem is that this doesn't work 100% of the time - the signal is recieved and logged, but the event does not always fire - the log below shows this in action. In this case a key fob state is used to trigger an event, but the same behaviour occurs with wall switches and HE remotes of any type.
