No Michael. There is never any activity on the Redac's 'x10 activity' led; not when ECS originates an x10 command nor when another controller originates. The TW will show activity for other controllers (i.e. cp-290) but nothing when ECS/Redac issues a command. Symptoms seem to indicate to me that there is some kind of transceiver/driver circuit on the Redac that may be blown. Not getting any errors in the ECS software, so maybe it thinks the commands are going out OK. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Don't know enough about the chip sets. Any clue as to where to start looking? Hilt ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael David To: ecs-list@netbloc.com Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 4:29 AM Subject: RE: [ECS] HELP !! Old Redac not send/recv x10 Hi Hilt! Hmmm. You to clarify something in your original message: When ECS sends a X10 commend, you see the LED flash on the TW, but the "X10 activity" light on the Redac does not. Is that what you are seeing?

Old Redac not send/recv x10 Michael/Joe, The 523's still work fine. I use one to control the thermostat. I can still send x10 and control the thermo. I switched 523's and the thermo still worked fine. Any other suggestions?

Old Redac not send/recv x10 Hello Did your TW-523 Possibly DIE?? If ECS communicates with the REDAC then it is probably still working. I just switched to the CM11A and may have a spare TW-523 if you need one. Later Joe Rut "Hilton H. Augustine, Jr." wrote: Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on the list (you know, work and all). Anyway, you know it must be serious. My (5 year old) Micro Redac stopped sending and receiving X10 signals last week. Lights flash on the X10 transceiver; communications & run lights flash too. The X10-Activity light stays off. What happened? I had to stoop to using a CP290 just to get a little of the lighting going. I still run ECS dos v3.3. Probably moving within a year so, not ready to rebuild this system. Anybody had/solved this problem. Hilt
