Well... it must be the w800. I had an extra w800 and when I swapped it out everything started working again. Put the original one back and it was all D8's again. Thanks, Thomas

Just a followup on the Icon switches. I received them today and put one in. I like the fact that they'er not as big as the Switchlincs. To me the build quality isn't as good as the switchlincs but it's passable. Overall, I think they're a good basic no-frills dimmer. I miss the leds...

Thanks for the feedback, I placed and order for several with Automated Outlet. The places I'm putting them are not critical and don't require more than simple X10 on and off commands so they should work fine. I just didn't want to get something with a cheap feel. As an aside, I encourage...

Has anyone tried the Icon dimmers from Smarthome? I need to add some basic dimmers (no 2-way or scenes needed) in a few places and at 19.99 a piece they seem like a good choice assuming they're mid-to-high qualtiy switches. I'd be happy if they were comparable in looks and build quality to...

Tried the reset - no joy. ;)

Well.. I guess it's going to turn out to be a silly question... I've got a 6 key keypadlinc with dimmer that I'm trying to use. It doesn't light up or "come on" when I put it in the circuit but I tried 2 other switchlincs and a keypadlinc in the same location and they work fine. Before I go...

Just out of curiosity - how short would you cut the antenna to limit detection to a 5-10 mile radius. Guess a bit of trial and error is in order and even that's going to have a large margin of error.. Thanks Thomas

I really don't want to pick up lightning 50 miles away. What size would you guesstimate I'd need to detect it in the 5-10 mile range? Thanks Thomas

What is the best place to put the lightning detector for day-to-day use? I just finished putting mine outside and connecting it to weather display and I wonder if I have it in an optimium spot. I've got it in a pvc outlet box which is screwed to a heavy-duty plastic cover I have over my...

I know what you mean. I was sitting here my a lighter flicking away and thinking exactly the same thing... In any case, I gave up on the 1wireviewer app and just plowed into Weather Display and everything is working nicely. Thanks so much for your quick replies. Fast shipping and great...

Hi Eric, It's grounded per the how-to. Regarding the Memory with externally triggered counter stuff.... Here's what I've got... I'm not sure that it'll be formatted correctly but hopefully you are familiar enough with it to tell me exactly what's number is supposed to increment when lightning...

Yep, got it. It's in hex - is that normal and if so how do I read the data? I've got it setup and am testing it (with a lighter, per the how-to) and none of the hex values are changing. Thanks Thomas

I just got my lightning detector and other components I ordered from you - thanks for getting it out so quickly. I plan to integrate the lightning detector into my weather station and log the data via Weather Display but I suppose I have to get it working first... ;-) I have everything hooked...

Yes - there will be pages of random codes sent repeatedly - most of which I'm not even using. Very, very strange. I forgot to unplug the appliance module last night and when I got up this morning it had already quit responding to it's house/unit code again. I unplugged it and put the...

I'm assuming that it's powerline related. All remotes are present and accounted for - wouldn't that all but eliminate an RF cause? Since I unplugged the Signallinc everything has been running ok. Well, I do have a 2 way appliancelinc that's suddenly become possessed and needs an x10...
