[Hai-users] Out of Control ALC Lighting?

[Byron Peebles]

Actually, that is typical behavior for a lighting control that is 
receiving a ON command.
For example, RadioRa will be forced ON if the wireless signal says ON no 
matter what
the local control intends.

I'd look for a control wiring issue.  Any new work being done in the 
walls?  Any new "pulls"?

I had another similar problem with a system that was programmed for 
X-10.  It would accept ALL ON
command and translate them to Lutron or whatever.  Removing that 
programming and making certain
the X-10 codes were more specific (and deeper in the alphabet) solved 
that one.
