Hi,
My home
automation
didn't start well. I replaced, for a start, two wall switches with dimmers
LW10G
>from
HR10 for remote controling via RF. Everything worked fine for a while, but
a
couple of days ago, something sparked indide dimmer when I tried to switch
the
light in bedroom. I checked, and the fuse was blown. Then I bought a new
fuses,
but as soon as I replaced it, the circuit fuse went off. I took the LW10
out and
I found big black smelly patch on the CCB and, what looks to me like some
transistor melted. It is not a nice experience when fuse blows under your
fingers.
Unfortunatelly,
my
SWMBO was present when it happened and now she is afraid using her bedside
lamp
in fear that it will explode (I plugged it into Lamp
Module).
I hope that Li
will
replace it without problems, but I would like to know why it happened. Few
people told me on this group that they are using lots of LW10s and that
they are
very reliable, but I have just two, and one blew up after two weeks.
I plan to order
few
more, but I would like to know what I'm putting myself into. I cannot
afford
many more incidents like this, because SWMBO's current attitude regarding
home
automation is not very positive at the moment.
I have UPS
installed
in my node 0. I noticed that 50% of the time (maybe even more), it cuts
voltage,
so voltage must be higher than normal. I don't know if that can be
related.
