Possible Cause
TimerLinc may not be
getting power.
The Controller or
Responder might have
been reset without
Unlinking TimerLinc from
it.
The Controller or
Responder and TimerLinc
may be on opposite power
line phases.
The INSTEON signal may
be too weak.
Large appliances, such as
refrigerators or air
conditioners, may be
producing electrical noise
on the power line.
Other electrical devices,
such as computers,
televisions, or power
strips, may be absorbing
the INSTEON signal.
The Controller may be
sending commands to a
Responder that is no
longer in use. Commands
for the unused Responder
are being resent and
loading down the signal.

Solution
Make sure TimerLinc is not plugged into a
switched outlet that is turned off.
Re-Link TimerLinc to the Controller or Responder.
Make sure two dual-band INSTEON devices are
properly installed to bridge the two power line
phases.
Add additional INSTEON devices or move around
existing INSTEON devices. All INSTEON devices
act as INSTEON network repeaters.
Install a power line noise filter (#1626-10) to filter
electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation.
Unlink any unused Responders from the
Controller.
