OK, those following this thread know that after being away for 3 weeks,
we came home to find that a switch in the kitchen would turn on itself
and one other switch as programmed but had "added" the function of also
turning on two other switches that it was NOT programmed to do (they are
all in the same 4 gang box). It would do this 100% of the time - not an
intermittant behavior. Weirder Part: Now it works correctly again.
Approx. 48 hours later it started working correctly again - 100% of the
time. No loads were added or subtracted. My one great hope for this
system is that replacing the 2414X Translator with the upcoming RoZetta
will solve these problems.
