    Older X10 wall light switches all at once switching on nearly daily to max lighting

    Any ideas what could be setting them off, or am I just best off to replace with Lutron? I have some Lutron, these are the only 2 X10 wall switches I have, annoying the crap out of me.

    One seemed to have a slider at base, and I slid it over and it has not come back on since. But my two post lights, are coming on now on the switch next to it. This just started a week or so ago. Weird after all these years.

    Some sort of interference maybe, or a momentary power drop? I haven't had X10 stuff in decades, but I seem to recall if they sense a power cut (by toggling a wall switch on the circuit with the X10 module plugged in) it will turn on.

    Maybe try changing to a different house/unit number to see if a neighbor's system is interfering?

      I would not even know how to do that, it's the only X10 I use Oh well, just another great day after day after day. I put a low wattage bulb in the porch light, the post lights have not been an issue recently. Take it as it comes.

        X10 switches had to be replaced. I put Lutrons in instead...

          I put in Z-wave switches and outlets throughout my house and so far, no issues. Its nice to have that much control over the interior and exterior lighting and no more of those d@mn analog dial timers to futz with

            I really don't like messing with electric switches now, installing, never did actually. I am not familiar with Z-wave switches and outlets, but it must be master controlled, that would be nice. Enjoy.
