- - New home (2015) with 200A service (2 legs), Square D breakers (some of the breakers are CAFCI models - arc-fault*)
- ACT-Solutions CP000 1:1 passive coupler installed in breaker box
- PowerLink 2413U, V2.0 (<1 year old), plugged directly into out.et
- Indigo 6.1.7 running in iMac, OS 10.11.3, plugged into power strip which is plugged into an AF120 plug-in filter
History:
- - Moved to new home in October. Last house was well-tuned for lighting automation. Learned that I needed the AF120 to isolate the iMac, and the CP000 coupler to bridge across the two legs of the 200A service. Indigo had been running at that house since version 1 in 2004.
- Installed CP000 coupler in breaker box, and Indigo signals still were not reaching some outlets. Decided to test by plugging in a wireless transceiver module, an appliance module, and using an old gray Learning Remote to turn on/off. The transceiver is plugged into the same room (circuit) as the PowerLinc.
- The remote was able to activate the appliance module in most rooms - I could hear the click - and based on the breaker layout, the outlets represent both legs of the electrical service. [assumption: the CP000 is working]
- Indigo's Activity log shows the on/off actions requested by the RF remote.
- However, trying to activate the module using Indigo, only a few of the locations (circuits) seemed to respond. The lamp module in the same room as the PowerLinc responds, as does the appliance module in the kitchen.
Question:
>> Are there any recommendations for further troubleshooting?
I'm at a loss as to why the RF remote can operate a module in many places around the house, but the PowerLinc cannot, especially when plugged into the same circuit.
