The 2413U stopped receiving X10 and I tried EVERYTHING. I reset PRAM in case the USB connection somehow locked up. I reset the 2413U and resynced all the links. I unplugged it and the X10 transceiver from power and the 2413U from USB and 'let them rest'. I restarted the server software, shut down and restarted the machine, and nothing worked. I spent hours. I then ordered a replacement from Amazon and was going to call it a day.
Ok. So here is the weird part :
After I gave up and was walking out of the office I double-tapped the INSTEON dimmer in there to turn off all the lights in the office - it causes a trigger that then shuts down the various INSTEON and X10 devices in the room. To my surprise, after it did that I started hearing the various DINGS associated from receiving X10 signals from various motion detectors coming from the server. I looked in the log and sure enough all of a sudden a FLOOD of X10 signals hit all at the same time - right after the trigger that shuts down the office ran. Now, everything is back to normal.
I'm utterly confused - though everything is working again. Any thoughts on why this would be happening?
To note - the insteon dimmer I double tapped is a two wire dimmer, should that make a difference.
