I am running Homeseer 2.1.104.0
I have the following Leviton devices installed in a large home.
HCC4A 14 each
HCCS7 5 each
HCM06/16383 22 each
Model? 15 each
ON/ Off only
X-10 wall
Switches
6201 Coupler / Repeater - 2 each. One installed at the Main 400 amp panel and one at a sub panel sub panel. I had 4 totals as I have a total of 3 sub panels. I have since removed 2 from two sub panels.
I also have 7 Filterlinc plug in noise filters installed at the usual suspects, 2 Lamp link Modules, 4 appliance modules, a signal Linc coupler/repeater for my 220 volt clothes dryer and a Booster Linc X-10 signal booster.
I also have a Napco Gemini security system with 3 Gem X-10 module interfaces.
Lastly, I have an Elk ESM1 signal meter.
My issues are these:
I have 0.1v of “noise†intermittently on my power lines. I have done the troubleshooting where I plug the signal meter in to various outlets and unplug things until the interference goes away. Once I think I have isolated the problem, I find it some where else. I saw that I had between 1v-2.5v of “flickering interference†until I pulled the plug on my Gem x-10 interfaces from my Napco Alarm panel. Then that interference was gone for a day. Next it was a motion sensing light switch hard wired into my garage lights. When I threw the circuit breaker, the noise disappeared, I reset the breaker, activated the switch and the noise came back. I have left that breaker in the off position and there is noise again. I have also noticed that some of the LED’s on HCC4A, blink constantly when the noise is present. What is really strange is that I can “knock the noise out†with my levition Model 6320 Executive table top controller. That is to say, if I bombard my system enough times with a code, I can make the signal go away and everything will work fine. What seems to make the noise come back is when I try to adjust light levels form within the Homeseer status page. Then all my X10 communication gets locked up.
One more thing, I get conflicting information on the coupler / repeaters. Leviton says “a coupler/repeater in each panelâ€. I have read in different Homeseer forums that this is asking for trouble if they are installed out of phase etc., so I have removed two of them and the system works fine until the intermittent noise shows up and locks the system.
Please help
