Heeeellllp! HomeVision is killing me!!!

["Andy Bovingdon" <bov@xxxxxxx>]

 

My hair is coming out real fast here. Got home at a decent time

and thought I'd have another go at getting my new HomeVision

toy running - but I'm back to HomeSeer again.

 

Problem is as follows:

 

I have an RF key fob button (B3) with an ON action which turns a

light (C2) on and then off - nice and simple. When I press the button

the light does indeed come on and go of but then it does it again

and again and... The HV S/W tells me that it keeps receiving the

B3 ON signal over and over. If I send an OFF it seems to stop

it. Same happens with 2 external motion detectors I have, but

an internal one does not seem to have the same effect.

 

I then put a condition at the top of the B3 ON action that

checks if a flag is clear and only if it is will it run the light on/off.

After this runs it sets the flag. So next time round it does not enter

the condition and it does not turn the light on/off. Now when I

trigger the fob button I see the B3 ON command and the light

goes on/off then I get a second B3 ON command show up but

the light does not go on/off and no further B3 ON's appear. I can

now press the button and only see single B3 ON's. If I clear the

flag and press it I see 2 again and the light goes on/off.

 

It's as if turning the light on/off is causing some form of echo to

occur, which without the flag and condition is causing a loop

to happen.

 

HomeSeer is turned off during all this, I do have an all house IR

unit plugged in along with 2 RF receivers (one in the house, one

in the garage). The only other stuff I have is the lamp and appliance

modules and naturally the HomeVision unit.

 

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas before I go totally bald?

 

Bov!
