I had had my first output expander (M1XOV) wired up for many months without issues. It's been running sprinklers and other stuff without fail forever (outputs 17-32). I recently (within last 2 weeks) installed an M1XOVR as my second expander in my office/outbuilding. It's for outputs 33-48.
Today, i was in my office around dusk when i heard the relay trip for the christmas lights (ok, shop lights on). However, when i went up to house a short while later, i noticed that none of my christmas lights were on house side. I checked the breakers and the 4 GFI loads as well as the one powering the elk 24VAC wart in a cabinet were up and running.
So, i went back to the elk keypad where it said something to the effect of "output expander lost comm". I trying to reenroll bus modules twice, but both times it failed to find the first one (10 devices enrolled, expecting 11)
The led on the card was blinking twice in short blips followed by long pause before redoing the same...
I shut down the M1 and flipped it back on. This time, the expander was found and i was able to get all my lights up and running (now getting 3 blipss followed by pause). I did no wiring / programming and no control (keypad or webserver) during the last 24 hours since the Christmas lights last cycled without any issues...
any ideas?
