    Micro module in switch and wall outlet issue

    I have a micro module installed in my switch and a 2473 wall outlet. I wanted to use it to turn on and off a video game cabinet type slot machine. It took forever to link it. I got it to link and tested with a radio to see if it worked. I plugged in the game and it worked. I then unplugged game to install outlet cover, pushed micro into switch and tested again. No go! It will turn on but not off. I tested with radio and it works fine. Please help!!!

    The game is interfering with the INSTEON signal. Use a FilterLinc to power the game.

      Thanks for the reply. Is there an outlet with a filter built in? I am limited on space behind game to begin with. I have installed so far 4 other micro modules and they are awesome. If need be I can find a new wire with the wire coming from the bottom like an Air conditioner plug.

        I'm not aware of any outlets with built-in filters. You can plug the FilterLinc into a short extension cord with a right-angle plug. I do exactly that in one location.

          Awesome. I already ordered one. From what I am reading it will plug into bottom. That will be perfect. This insteon stuff is addictive. I keep thinking of more automation that I "need".
          Have a great day.

            Thank you @stusviews. That worked perfect. Now I am struggling with a 4 scene mini remote. It will not link to supplied with starter kit plug in modules. I tried to link to hub the way someone else mentioned, by adding motion sensor. It works sometime and I finally got a & b to work. I can't get c & d buttons to work. My process was to hit a button then set while hub is locating device. Insteon has to have an easier way. please help I can't wait on hold for an hour. I will post this elsewhere so more folks will see it.
