Guys, I have been using Insteon for about 1-1.5 years now (ever since it came out). I have about 20 dimmers and relay switches thoughout my house along with several lamp dimmers/switches. I have now had to replace close to every switch in the house and am on the 2nd or 3rd one in most cases.
It seems that the springs in the switches get compressed or worn out depending on how often the switch is used. I have tried everthing from very tightly securing the switch in the j-box to placing it in lightly. I have also tried to replace the springs on many of the units and that seems to work for a while after they have failed. Some of the switches will not turn off and others will not turn on.
Has anyone else had these problems? I have never had to replace any of the smarthome brand x10 switches. Also smarthome continues to replace them free of charge but I am startting to get tired of my wife and kids yelling out "There's another broken switch."
Thanks for your help.
