I have wired in an I/O like module into my garage door and set it up to linked to my Hub. I now get a yellow indicator on the iOS app and the hub does not see it. When I first set up the I/O module nothing I did allowed the Hud to see the I/O while plugged into the garage door opener 110 outlet. If I put the I/O module near the hub no problem, I finally had to install range extenders since the garage 110 outlets are the furthest point form the circuit panel. This worked fine for a while, then in the last 6 months the I/O module is back to showing yellow indicator in the app.
Through some trial and error I figure out if I plug in a lamp module into the same circuit as the garage I/O module the Hud see the module and I am able to control it again from the App no more yellow indicator. If I unplug the lamp module I can continue see the I/O module for a time period and then it disappears, and I have proven if the power is interrupted to the I/O module the Hub no longer sees it again and I have to plug in the lamp module to make it appear. I also attempted to put the range extender on the same circuit as the I/O module and it does not solve the problem actually the Hub will not see the range extender in the garage.
My question is this, has anyone run into this problem where a modules appear and disappear based on where it is located in the house and if you add another module in the same location everything works fine. I am trying to figure how to permanently fix this without sacrificing a lamp module.
I am thinking I have some sort fo power line noise issue since i notice during xmas when I when I add lamp modules to control xmas lights I have one lamp module which acts the same way, it appears and disappears. Most times I just unplug it and plug it in again and the Hud sees it again and it is fine for a period of time. I also use to use X10 and have abandon it since I was having too many problems with not being able to control modules not on the same phase as the controller, and I also put in a phase bridge and it did not fix the issues.
Any insight anyone can provide would be helpful.
