I’ve had Insteon switches and outlets in my house for going on 4 years. This weekend I finally got around to wiring up one of the FanLinc and 6-button keypad combinations that I bought during the Black Friday sale.
I have FanLinc wired into the full-time line and neutral wires in the ceiling fan box (not using the “load” wire from the wall switch location) and the scenes set up for the off/low/medium/high buttons on the keypad. All fan operations work correctly. However, when I try to turn the light on, the bulbs in the fan’s light kit flash on and back off and both LEDs on the FanLinc go out for a second or two before coming back with the Light LED being red. So, it sounds like the unit is rebooting (power cycling, whatever term you’d like).
Now, if I pull the chain on the light fixture to turn place the light kit in the off position and then press the Light button on the FanLinc, the Light LED changes to green and the FanLinc doesn’t reboot. I bought 3 FanLinc and keypad combos on Black Friday and have installed 2 of them in this same fan with both exhibiting the same behavior.
I have 5w dimmable LED bulbs (3x) in the light kit on the fan.
I previously had a wireless remote installed like you can get at Lowe’s or Home Depot that wires into the switch box and all worked perfectly with that one.
Any thoughts on what is going on would be appreciated.
