Hi,
I lost another V2 #2456S3 Appliancelinc today (V1.0 rev1.1). It was controlling a (120V, 1.0 Amp) portable fan and the V2 just quit working. My attempts to turn it on with software got back a 'NAK' so it is still smart enough to know it is broken. The button on the side made something go 'click' but the load stayed on, I could no longer switch it off.
This is fifth one of these I have lost on various loads over the past five months. I understand that Smarthome is working on a fix for this particular problem. Any estimate on when a 'working' Appliancelinc will be available?
I just ordered two ICON Appliancelincs as replacements for some of my blown modules. I have perfectly good X10 appliance modules that I am trying 'real hard' to not need any more.
I am actually an avid Insteon supporter. I write software and think the Insteon communication protocol is excellent.
People are starting to ask me for advice on these things now. I have tell them not to buy (V2) Appliancelinc modules. This sort of shoots holes in my 'Insteon is Great' talk though.
Over to you at Smarthome....
