RE: X10 reliability



Try replacing the triac.

Sounds like it is partially conducting in one direction.

I had my first LM12U (lamp module) die last night, but that's the first out
of about 24 modules, mostly ranging from 18 months - 48 months old.

Techy people - is there anything obvious to check inside the lamp module
(the fuse is fine BTW, it's just 'stuck' at about 20% dim).

Have any of the more long term users of X10 devices got any views on the
longevity of X10 modules?

We've had a handful of devices for 2 or 3 years now. Over that period, we've
had the usual fuses blow in the dimmers which is no great shakes. However,
to date, we've also lost 1 AD10 (out of 3 in common use), 1 LD10 out of 1 in
daily use. And our TM12U RF receiver stopped working a few weeks ago too.

I'm wondering whether this is unusual, or whether replacing them is going to
become a 3 or so yearly requirement, which could get costly. Not that I see
much alternative.

Feedback welcome.

Ray Barnett.
