in our area and I have been running the house on a generator. In general it been working ok, not 100% reliable but useable. A lot of time I have to do multiple key presses to get a device to respond.
Everything is Insteon dual band except three legacy x10 devices (lights) in my living room and dining room. They have been working ok so I just never switched them over.
Today, during another outage, I looked at the log and the network is being flooded with:
Received X10 J10 status request
Received X10 J10 status request
Received X10 J10 extended data of 0 command of 0
Received X10 J10 status request

Received X10 J10 status request
Received X10 J10 status request
Received X10 J10 status request
Received X10 M13 preset dim val of 30
A new request about every second.
Any way to tell if this is actually coming from the legacy X10 devices or maybe generator noise? (Generator is rated for use with electronic devices such as computers/TV)
I suspect all this traffic is what is causing the occasional flakey performance from the Insteon devices.
Time to replace the X10 devices or ?
