Re: Lamplinc lockups and base address loss!

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

I have been using one 2000STW since they were introduced. In that time it
has lost it's address twice. It doesn't seem to be the power outage that
causes it problems but momentary blips like the power stuttering as it comes
on after an outage. In any event, I think it's a design flaw that should
have been fixed. It sounds like you have abnormally dirty power.

For me it has been a minor annoyance but it is one reason why I do not
recommend the *Linc X-10 devices and still makes me nervous about
recommending Insteon. If it happened more frequently here I would replace
the 2000STW with an LM14A.
