I'm suddenly getting bad checsum errors in my CM11. Any idea what = causes this, and what is the cure? Ray Dzek http://www.solarbugs.com |

(Or other random unexplained reasons that I suspect are related to the phase of the moon. :-) ) What fixes it for me: Unplug the CM-11 from the wall, and remove the batteries if you use them. Disconnect the serial cable from the CM11. Leave everything unplugged for 4 or 5 minutes. Plug the CM-11 back into the wall, then reconnect the serial cable. Test it, and you should be back in business. Gary Sanders |

A somewhat easier fix SOMETIMES works for me (about 50% of the time) - just send an X10 command from a wired controller. Seems like any old random command will work.
