Tech support was ultra helpful, they are sending me all new switches to swap out, cant say enough for good customer service after the sale. Now to see if it fixes the problem.
I wonder what happened to the ones you have. It almost sounds like something is going on with the triac triggering. I don't know if all HAI dimmers are designed this way, but... Last spring I had a lightning hit, and I had several things blown up. One of them was a lamp module. When I opened it and looked into the way it works, what I found is that the big triac that controls the load is triggered by a little triac, which is in turn triggered by the processor in the device. In this damaged lamp module, the big triac is fine, but the little triac is blown.
Here's a question for you: do you think you might have a loose/floating neutral? Have you noticed anything like certain lights being unusually bright, or certain lights that only work when something else is on?

have you check every home lighting fixture in the house and a wire that burned off? is it grounding out the circuit?

I had the problem one time with one switch.I have had my HAI system installed and operation no major issues for almost a yeasr now. Every once in a while my lights in certain rooms will go crazy. But last night/ today things are out of control. Lights in almost every area are flickering to full intensity like flash cubes. They will be fine fow say 5 minute and then go crazy for 15 seconds and then repeat. They flash so fast it hurts your eyes. I havent done any changes or additions in the past 2 weeks. I can control the lights no problem either remote or locally. I have done some searching and see that most filters are installed at the noise device but I do not know what is causing it or for that matter if that is what it is. I do not have a phase coupler fyi. The house is new, I know I have some noise because i sometimes have trouble getting into my pim to make changes due to noise. Tell me where to look if you can
Kinda freaky. I thought the house was haunted.
It was way back when I had GEN 1 upb.
Replaced the switch no more problem.
I had so much automation in the house at the time I thought that the other automation may have something to do with it.
When I replaced the switch, no more problem.
I haven't seen it since with Gen 2
I have a OPII for 6 months and for the past week I am also having a flickering problem.
Each window has a light module that has a window light plugged into it. I also have my Christmas tree in a appliance module.
randomly all the window lights and the christmas tree start flickering for 5 seconds (all the same pattern, all at the same time).
Here is a video of it happening....
