Re: TM751 Problem

["Jeff Volp" <JeffVolp@xxxxxxx>]

Interesting...  I don't recall ever having a lockup when doing the dim in
discrete steps.  Back when I was beta testing the CM14A, we pretty much
confirmed the lockup was caused by holding down the dim button.  As I
recall, we were using two TM751s back then - one at each end of the house.
I do know we avoided the lockup by doing the dim in discrete steps.



X10 discontinued development of the CM14A, and I upgraded to the Ocelot when
we moved to this house.  We now have a single RR501 centrally located for
the RF link.  We rarely use the dim command anymore because the Ocelot
controls all the lights via Leviton preset dim commands.  Should I use the
palmpad, I still dim in discrete steps out of habit.  However, I just ran
the dim up and down half a dozen times holding the button down without
causing a lockup.  Maybe the RR501 doesn't exhibit the problem?  Maybe it
was some interaction between the RF receiver and the CM14A?



I'd be interested in finding out more about the firmware upgrade.
