Re: [misterhouse-users] cm11 - Bad checksum

Jim,

This can be a sign that the CM11 has died (my experience is that they have a
lifetime of about 2 years).  Really depends on the electrical environment it
is working in.

Or it could have frozen, in which case use a controller to put an X10
command on the power lines to see if that unfreezes it.

Alternately, you can try to unplug and leave unplugged for a while (hour)
then try again, that has worked for me several times.

Hope this helps.

Peter
