Hi All,
I recently bought a house which has an old OmniPro II (circa 2003) installed and have been slowly resurrecting it. This forum has been invaluable for this hobby and I sincerely thank everyone here who has provided content and answers over the years!
The light switches in the house used to run on an X10 network, but many had failed over the years so I have been slowly replacing with UPB switches. So far, everything has worked really well and setup has been a breeze. I do all of my configuration through PC Access (dealer edition).
However, I've now started upgrading the 3-way switches and ran into some seemingly odd behavior. Each 3-way has 1 Leviton 35A00-1 600W Dimmer and 1 Leviton 37A00-1 Aux.
The dimmer works as expected: Single Tap Up turns lights on while Single Tab Down turns lights off, Hold Up brightens while Hold Down dims, and the blue LED lights when the switch is off.
The Aux switch is different: Single Tap Up does nothing while Single Tap Down turns lights off, Hold Up brightens ONLY IF the light is on while Hold Down dims, and the blue LED lights when the switch is ON.
I thought that the Aux switch was supposed to mirror the Dimmer. I've double checked the wiring, and assured that the Yellow wire is connected on both ends. My electrician also checked my work and stated that the wiring looks good, though he doesn't expect the house will pass inspection because the Aux switches won't turn the lights on by themselves. We've installed multiple pairs now, and all function the same way.
Is this how the Aux switches are intended to work or did I miss some configuration somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
