I have an AC Jr with 4 appliance modules, a lamp module, and an alarm module. everything works fine except for the T5's (LT1) which turns on after about 5 mins at the end of the program then turns off after a few mins and turns back on after a min and keeps repeating this untill the next programming cycle begins. I have it programmed as follows:

IF TIME > 1000 THEN LT1 ON
IF TIME > 2200 THEN LT1 OFF
IF TIME > 1200 THEN LT2 ON
IF TIME > 2000 THEN LT2 OFF
IF TEMP >79 THEN COL ON
IF TEMP <78 THEN COL OFF
IF PH >6.9 THEN CO2 ON
IF PH <6.75 THEN CO2 OFF

just making sure.....are you putting a colon between your time ( : )
IF Time > 12:00 then LT1 ON

that is a set where you can't remove if using time.

It sounds like either a bad appliance module or that you have 2 timers configured to the same address. Have you tried using a different appliance module?

yes I did switch modules a couple times already and still does the same thing.

They will tell you that its powerline noise. Do you have x10 filter(s) and what is your repeat interval set to?

Try setting the light to housecode of its own with nothing else on that address.

I agree with Ken. Have you scrolled through to make sure you don't have an extra name in the setup. You have to delete a name if you enter it. Just adding another name with the same address doesn't replace the prior one with the that address. So it is possible, say if you bought it used, for there to be an extra name in there with the same address. I had that problem once. I didn't know I had to delete and just entered a new name with an address I had already assigned.

Just an idea.
