My current HAI setup in a nutshell: OmniPro II with a variety of 600w dimmers and Aux switches used on internal light switches throughout the house (prob around 12 switches). I use PC Access for configuring and am about 2 months into learning the system and feel that I’ve learned a ton in a short period of time but still have a lot to learn. All of the components were originally installed/configured by my local HAI dealer with the exception of me configuring a few switches myself after getting familiar w/ PC Access.
I had everything working fine until adding some landscaping lighting now the switch is not controlling lights at all.
Basically I have 2 low voltage post lights on my dock behind my house and my builder put the standard light switch near my breaker box in the garage to control those lights. That is very inconvenient since you would have to enter the garage and trip over toys and cars to turn on the dock lights. There is a small room near the rear patio of my house that has an HAI switch for controlling the rear patio downlights. My HAI installer set it up so that you could just click that switch once for patio downlights and doubleclick for the dock lights to come on. Worked really well.
I had some landscape lighting guys come put some lights on the stairs going down to the dock and asked them to just tie those lights into the dock lights since they were already on an automated switch. The stair lights are small low voltage lights with a 300w transformer. They tied them into the dock lights and before they left I tested them. A few hours after they left they wouldn’t work and I can’t control those dock lights or stair lights at all.
I know that when the landscape lighting ppl had their electrician do some wiring he possibly took out the automated dock switch in the garage and hooked it back up so I’m wondering if that reset the switch. The LED on the main dock switch in the garage still behaves like it used to (lights up when in off position and LED off when switched on).
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated
