My 1st post is a cry for help.
I have 2 AD10 DIN modules at the mains box that switch my upstairs and downstairs lighting circuit all on and off at once, lights I want to come on are left active by their wall switches.
These have worked fine for over a year (end of warranty gone), but last night came on at 1AM and will not turn off with the front switch, X10 or the manual wired switch.
Bizarrely this is just as I was about to take them out after buying a load of socket rockets to increase flexability. Another unit did this a year ago, though that one died over a week.
So I have took them out a week early but had planned to use them in the garage. Is it possible to get them working again? The relay rocker inside moves by hand but seems stiff. Nothing looks burnt out or smells.
Searching the web seems to have lots of these failing, I might just moan at Marmitek for a refund\replacement.
In other news we have been playing with an american CM15A that I have working via a modded transformer, letting me use lots of cheap RF switches and PIRs from the US here in the UK. Not connected with the above problem as it is not installed in the same house yet. Obviously this uses an illegal frequency but saves £££s...
Still early days but I will post more about it after I am happy it is reliable (for x-10).
