Re: Another question about current sense

["D&SW" <d&sw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Current sensing is P/O local control. Cutting the jumper disables Local
Control but does not stop the current leakage through the load to detect the
local switch changing state. The leakage is what keeps LED bulbs lit and CFL
bulbs flickering. On older modules cutting the diode stopped the leakage
current (and by default Local Control) but I do not know if this still works
on newer modules.
I think Ido's information is still the best around.
