We have one X10 node - connected to a couple of outdoor floods -
that keeps turning on with no input from us. Other lights in
the same letter-designated group are unaffected.

I've checked w/nearby neighbors to see if anybody else is running
X10, but nobody says they are.

All the modules are up in an attic that's going tb a bear to get
in to. I guess I'll have to eventually - and drop the wires
down the soil stack to a closet where I can fool around with the
modules easily.

But meanwhile, can anybody suggest other causes for just one
module flipping on? NB that it never seems to flip off.... just
on.

My uninformed guess would be some sort of spikes from some
unknown source.

How about a device for debugging the "network"? i.e. listening
for anomalies....

I withdraw the question - having just stumbled on to the "X-10 RF
home automation being overwhelmed by M2 OFF, C2 OFF and Gxx DIM
signals" thread....

Looks tb a lotta good stuff there and I'll have to digest it
bit-by-bit.
